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 ...

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)?

OMRON Electronic Components Europe has introduced a new range of P6K surface-mount sockets designed to streamline the assembly and servicing of printed circuit board (PCB) relays. Surface-mount ...

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 ...

WECO's SMarTconn family of surface mount terminal blocks now includes a 3.5 mm pitch version. Designated the 930-D-SMD Series, these terminal blocks are available in 2-12 poles and are constructed for ...

TE Connectivity (TE), a world leader in connectivity and sensors, now offers the BUCHANAN WireMate connector Surface Mount TB series, a two-piece pluggable connector solution designed with surface ...

As computers have gotten smaller and less expensive over the years, so have their components. While many of us got our start in the age of through-hole PCBs, this size reduction has led to more and ...

The widespread move to surface mount PCB assembly techniques over the last ten years has tested the ingenuity of LED suppliers. LEDs are increasingly being seen as the most cost-effective option for ...
