To get all of the components onto a PCB that actually fits into the original case, though, surface-mount is required. For that [Tobi] is using a small USB-powered hotplate to reflow the solder, a ...

Let’s face it friends, everything is moving toward surface mount components. We’ve seen quite a few features here that cover using stencils to populate boards and using ovens to reflow.… ...

The TDD Series surface mount jumper DIP switches from C&K components are sealed with a removable top tape to enable them to be used in reflow soldering and washable assembly processes. The ...

The components placed on the PCB are known as surface mount devices (SMD). Initially, there were two types of SMT equipment used, which includes chip shooters and precision placement machines.

Harwin has added a through-hole retention option to its surface-mount 'Kontrol' industrial connector range, increasing it by ...

IPC–Association Connecting Electronics Industries has announced the IPC-7351 Generic Requirements for Surface Mount Design and Land Pattern Standard, which is the successor to IPC-SM-782A. Like its ...

These miniature low profile devices, measuring only 7.8 x 5.20 x 1.8mm, suit a broad range of handheld consumer electronics designs where the available PCB footprint and height are restricted.

Sometimes the simplest ideas at the best, and this surface-mount test probe pint from French form Nicomatic is certainly simple. Called the C12000 series, they are intended to present a mechanical ...
