The SMT reflow oven controller is based on H8/3687 microcontroller which can be used to transform a conventional infrared toaster oven into an effective reflow oven that performs thermal control. The ...

There’s no question that surface-mount technology has been a game-changer for PCB design. It means easier automated component placement and soldering, and it’s a big reason why electronics have gotten ...

Littelfuse Inc. extends its K5V Series of illuminated tactile switches with the release of new K5V4 models including the gull-wing and 2.1-mm pin-in-paste (PIP) versions compatible with reflow ...

There are almost as many ways to reflow a surface-mount circuit board as there are hackers. Today, we add another method to the list. [Dasaki] converted a halogen floodlight into an SMT oven, and did ...

Nowadays, there are many interconnects in IC chips. One of the packaging goals is to connect an IC to the next level of subsystem circuitry (package substrates/print circuit boards). Mass reflow (MR) ...

What a great time to be an electronics hobbyist! Who could have imagined 10 years ago the cool parts that are available for experimentation and projects today: And more! And they’re cheap! The problem ...
