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 ...

TT Electronics has expanded its WHPC series of surface mount power resistors to include 1W (WHPC0508X), 1.5W (WHPC0612X) and 2W (WHPC1020X chip) sizes. These are the same size as the company’s ...

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)?

The different types of PCB assembly methods like surface mount, through-hole, and mixed assembly. How these PCB assembly processes differ from each other. The performance of a printed circuit board ...
