In our last installment of Tools of the Trade, we had just finished doing the inspection of the surface mount part of the PCB. Next in the process is the through hole components. Depending on the PCB, ...

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 ...

The conductive hole Via is also known as the conductive hole. In order to meet the customer’s requirements, the conductive hole of the circuit board must be plugged. After a lot of practice, the ...

Manufacturing of a modern component-laded printed circuit board (PCB) is an amazing fusion and coordination of diverse technologies. There’s the board as substrate itself, the stencils and masks that ...

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 ...

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 ...
