This my fist project with SMD circuit. I ignored SMD because the small sized parts are confused me. The circuit of current SMD project is the headphone amplifier with TPA6120.I designed three PCBs of ...

In PCB design, design for manufacturing (DfM) is all about correcting mistakes after reviewing a PCB layout. We then devise corrective actions to fix those mistakes and improve procedures to make ...

You can do your own Surface Mount Technology based PCB assembly with just a handful of tools and some patience. At the heart of my SMT process is stopping to inspect the various steps all while trying ...

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 ...

Here’s a neat trick for your next 3D-printer build or retrofit: a Z-axis sensor using a DIY strain gauge made from SMD resistors. We’re betting it could have plenty of other applications, too.

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 TDD Series ...
