Let’s face it friends, everything is moving toward surface mount components. We’ve seen quite a few features here that cover using stencils to populate boards and using ovens to reflow. [Oleg] has put ...
One of the first decisions involved in laying out a printed circuit board (PCB) is choosing the type and style of components to be used. This decision is mainly driven by the PCB’s electrical ...
Above is a video detailing one method for populating a two sided surface mount PCB. We covered using a stencil to apply solder paste for a PCB a few weeks ago. In the comments there was a debate about ...
Schurter has introduced a series of through-hole PCB-mount common-mode chokes for use at between 10A and 50A and up to 300Vac or 450Vdc. For single-phase applications, DKIV-1 chokes are available with ...
Should folks building small numbers of circuit boards use surface-mount parts, or should they stick with through-hole components that are so much easier to handle and solder (not to mention see)?
The TDD Series surface mount jumper DIP switches from C&K components are sealed with a removable top tape to enable them to be used in reflow soldering and washable assembly processes. The switches ...
L-com, Inc. has added panel-mount USB connectors with PCB solder tails. The new connectors, which come in either USB 2.0 Type A Female or USB 2.0 Type B Female, are being sold in packages of 10. PCB ...
POWER ultra micro power interconnect system. mPOWER vertical board connectors (UMPS, UMPT) and right-angle board connectors (UMPT-RA) are now available with through-hole board termination options, ...
