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 ...

As the core technology used in modern electronics manufacturing, surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly density is increasing, the number of pins is increasing, and the pitch is decreasing. In ...

If you want to build cool things these days, you’ve probably had to master surface mount electronics. However, for many people, ball grid array (BGA) is still intimidating. Have a look at [VoltLog’s] ...

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)?

Crowded around a workbench, John Kratz’s students peer over their teacher’s shoulders through a 6-inch-wide overhead magnifying glass at his swollen- looking fingers and some very tiny electronic ...
