Above is a video detailing one method for populating a two sided surface mount PCB. We covered using a stencil to apply solder paste for a PCB a few weeks ago. In the comments there was a debate about ...

The Ball Grid Array, or BGA package is no longer the exclusive preserve of large, complex chips on computer motherboards: today even simple microcontrollers are available with those little solder ...

Electrically conductive adhesive EP21TDCS is the ideal candidate to replace lead soldering for electrical connections and packaging for electronic components. This two component, silver filled ...

The SG-MLF-7028 socket accommodates 64-pin, 0.5-mm pitch QFN packages on any PCB, reportedly without significant performance. It requires no soldering and no mounting hardware or screws and operates ...

Power semiconductor packages are used in high temperature, high voltage environments. With the increase of electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) in the automotive market, demands ...

Getting the hang of through-hole soldering is tricky for those of us tinkering at home with our irons, spools, flux, and, sometimes, braids. It's almost reassuring, then, to learn that through-hole ...

Solid-state relays are among the switching elements that now use materials allowed under the RoHS mandates. The specifications of these devices typically are identical to those of non-RoHS compliant ...
