The quality of the soldering has a tremendous impact on the overall quality of the PCB. Through soldering, different parts of the PCB are connected to other electrical components to make a PCB ...

The most frequently used technique for soldering electronic parts is hand soldering, specially when you are still creating your prototype boards. This is commonly performed with the use of a soldering ...

Soldering irons, solder extractors and other equipment that comes in direct electrical contact with sensitive components can inject significant energy into these devices. Specifically, metal-to-metal ...

I'm going to be celebrating the 38th anniversary of my 21st birthday next month (coincidentally, it will also be the 29th anniversary of my 30th birthday). The reason I mention this is that my eyes ...

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 ...

PCBs must survive impact, flexing and thermal cycles so how can mechanical testing be used to test for vulnerabilities?

In this guest blog post, taken from the Eurocircuits blog, Ben Verwaest considers whether hand-soldering can reach the same high quality result as reflow or wave soldering. In this guest blog post, ...
