With the Raspberry Pi Pico in mind, UK company OpenLX SP has answered the question: ‘how do I temporarily mount a castellated solder-down PCB module?’. The answer is a connector dubbed Clipzin, which ...

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 ...

As computers have gotten smaller and less expensive over the years, so have their components. While many of us got our start in the age of through-hole PCBs, this size reduction has led to more and ...

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)?

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 ...

These 6A current rated surface-mount PCB sockets have been developed to allow engineers to accommodate different designs, placing individual sockets freely on a board without the constraint of ...
