For most of us, soldering electronics means soldering on “through hole components,” that are large and easy to handle. However, when machines build components, they use “surface mount components,” ...

If you are lucky enough to encounter a piece of homebrew electronics from the 1950s, the chances are that under the covers the components will be assembled on solder tags, each component with long ...

This application note provides guidelines for board mounting of surface mount semiconductor packages. Reflow soldering is a widely spread technology for soldering of surface mount semiconductor ...

The result is that the entire board is much denser, and comments can be installed on both sides of the PC board, as seen in Figure 2 . Since the board does not require drilling for component leads ...

The printed circuit board assembly process has undergone revolutionary changes over the past three decades. What once relied ...

The different types of PCB assembly methods like surface mount, through-hole, and mixed assembly. How these PCB assembly processes differ from each other. The performance of a printed circuit board ...

Common inverter construction today features large Through-The-Hole (TTH) components along with smaller SMD devices on one side of the PCB, with the power module mounted on the other side and connected ...
