Through-hole assembly means bending leads on components and putting the leads through holes in the circuit board, then soldering them in place, and trimming the wires. That took up too much space a… ...

Once such a "vPCB" (vitrimer printed circuit board) has reached the end of its use, it will be sent to a recycling facility and immersed in an organic solvent which has a relatively low boiling point.

On a circuit board, discrete components are intermingled with the chips, and there is hardly any electronic product that does not have at least a few discrete resistors or capacitors. See also ...

The Circuit Board skins are available for 741 different products, according to Dbrand. You can get them for devices as small as an Apple AirTag, which for $58.95 gets you front and back skins for ...

All that is necessary for this neat little project is a laser printer, a few household items and the circuit board components and chemicals, available at Radioshack or a local electronics retailer.

Scientists have developed a circuit board material that releases its electronic components when exposed to hot water, so they can be salvaged for re-use.

30 minutes in near-boiling water, and those soldered chips come right off, leaving you with something that's non-toxic, compostable, and looking like something from your grandparents' attic.
