Let’s face it friends, everything is moving toward surface mount components. We’ve seen quite a few features here that cover using stencils to populate boards and using ovens to reflow.… ...

A research group in Canada has optimized the performance of concentrator photovoltaics by using the so-called surface-mount technology for thermal management. The CPV module prototype utilizes ...

To get all of the components onto a PCB that actually fits into the original case, though, surface-mount is required. For that [Tobi] is using a small USB-powered hotplate to reflow the solder, a ...

The components placed on the PCB are known as surface mount devices (SMD). Initially, there were two types of SMT equipment used, which includes chip shooters and precision placement machines.

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 ...

Sometimes the simplest ideas at the best, and this surface-mount test probe pint from French form Nicomatic is certainly simple. Called the C12000 series, they are intended to present a mechanical ...

Franz-Xaver Strueby, Chief Executive Officer of ESSEMTEC, commented, “It is an exciting combination of two leading technology leaders serving the PCB and wider electronic industry segments.

These devices ensure fast response and stable clamping across a wide voltage range—making them ideal for next-gen powertrains ...
