A DIY PCB fixture using split-Kelvin technique enables accurate, repeatable LCR measurements for low-impedance SMD components.

Surface mount devices have gotten really small, so small that a poorly timed sneeze can send your 0603 and 0402 parts off to live with the dust motes lurking at the edge of your bench. While soldering ...

The assembly of electronic products with SMT has the advantages of small size, good performance, full functionality and low cost. Widely used in aviation, communications, medical electronics, ...

Modding today's hardware often means moving or removing tiny surface mount components, and using a standard soldering iron feels about as effective as using a hammer to kill a fly. If buying an ...

Use of surface-mount technology (SMT) in consumer products offers a major competitive advantage—they enable significant design miniaturization. Surface-mount devices (SMD) come in a variety of ...

The practice of developing wearable electronics offers a lot of opportunity for new connector designs and techniques for embedding electronics. Questions like these will eventually come up: How will ...
