Continued pressure for electronic devices that provide greater functionality in ever-smaller form-factors is not only providing the driving force behind developing smaller surface-mount components and ...

In recent months, the ability to hide components inside a circuit board has become an item of interest. We could trace this to the burgeoning badgelife movement, where engineers create beautiful works ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

The complexity and density of electronics design has increased, partly due to the rise of the mobile industry, introducing new challenges for printed-circuit board (PCB) designers. Embedding ...

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 OKI Group printed circuit board (PCB) business company OKI Circuit Technology has developed a multi-layer PCB technology with stepped copper coin insertion to achieve 55 times better heat ...

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 ...

Designated the DKIH series, the chokes are available for single and three phase applications with rated currents from 10A to 50A. To meet EMC requirements there are advantages to design a filter on ...
