For most of us, soldering electronics means soldering on “through hole components,” that are large and easy to handle. However, when machines build components, they use “surface mount components,” ...

This application note provides guidelines for board mounting of surface mount semiconductor packages. Reflow soldering is a widely spread technology for soldering of surface mount semiconductor ...

Soldering is the process of using a metal alloy with a low melting temperature (solder) to fuse the electrical contacts of a component to the pads of a circuit board. Proper soldering maximizes the ...

Who will show the best soldering skills at the Hackaday Superconference next week? We have a little — in fact, a very little — challenge for you: solder surface mount components down to a tiny 0201 ...

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 ...

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 ...
