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 ...

The importance of SMT in PCB manufacturing. How SMT can be beneficial for PCB manufacturers. Have you opened an electronic device and found some small component networks? You see pieces of different ...

A new family of larger connectors is compatible with through-hole PCB mounting for strength and reflow soldering in ...

OMRON P6K surface-mount sockets designed to streamline the assembly and servicing of printed circuit board (PCB) relays.

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)?

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 ...
