Through-hole assembly means bending leads on components and putting the leads through holes in the circuit board, then soldering them in place, and trimming the wires. That took up too much space and ...

If you have ever had a project where you custom designed a circuit, you know how useful it would have been to develop a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) based on your design. Doing it commercially can get ...

Large electronics manufacturers are continuously looking to improve efficiencies and optimise the use of available resources. One of the biggest challenges they face is being able to track any printed ...

They are the "heart" of every electronic device, from laptops to electric toothbrushes: printed circuit boards, also known as PCBs. These rigid boards are covered with copper traces and soldered ...

Huawei Technologies Co has replaced more than 13,000 components in its range of products with local substitutes and redesigned over 4,000 circuit boards in the past three years, founder Ren Zhengfei ...

[Jack Gassett] is developing a new breakout board for an FPGA. The chip comes in a ball grid array (BGA) package which is notoriously difficult to solder reliably. Since he’s still in development, the ...
