Have you considered resistance soldering? Part 1

June 10, 2022 By Bill Schweber

Resistance soldering is an alternative to conventional “pencil” soldering iron which offers some unique capabilities. The image of the electrical engineer or hacker bent over and using a soldering iron on a circuit board is a classic visual cliché of TV and movies (Figure 1). In most of these soldering images, the engineer is using […]

Breadboards evolve to meet 21st-century design needs, Part 3: The present and near future

May 20, 2022 By Bill Schweber

The classic wooden breadboard is obsolete, but its name refers to a vital engineering tool that has changed to meet today’s component and design realities. Wooden breadboards are obsolete as platforms for circuits using modern components, of course, and so-called solderless breadboards are also of very limited usefulness. At the same time, the way designers […]

Breadboards evolve to meet 21st-century design needs, Part 2: Recent past and present

May 19, 2022 By Bill Schweber

The classic wooden breadboard is obsolete, but its name continues to refer to a vital engineering tool that has changed to meet today’s component and design realities. As leaded components such as discrete transistors and low-pin-count ICs in DIP packages came into use in the late 1960s and 1970s, breadboarding technology evolved as well. Among […]

Breadboards evolve to meet 21st-century design needs, Part 1: The “Ancient” Past

May 18, 2022 By Bill Schweber

breadboards

The classic wooden breadboard is obsolete, but its name continues to refer to a vital engineering tool that has changed to meet today’s component and design realities. Breadboards have a special place and multiple meanings in the engineering lexicon. So, what is a breadboard? It can be a crude try-out version of a subcircuit to […]

Five considerations for mixed-signal PCB layouts

April 20, 2022 By Jeff Shepard

Printed circuit board (PCB) layout is an important activity when developing mixed-signal applications. A lot can go wrong, and everything needs to be correct for a successful design. Impedance control is an obvious consideration, but it needs to include trace resistance as well as parasitic inductances and capacitances. Maintaining signal integrity can be challenging. This […]

10 straightforward ways to reduce PCB assembly costs without compromising PCB quality

January 3, 2022 By Aimee Kalnoskas

by Ken Ghadia, Sales Engineer, TechnoTronix It is difficult to build a quality product at the lowest cost. The quality of a PCB depends on the competence of its design for assembly, testing, repair, reliability, manufacturing, and yield. Several factors impact the cost of a PCB assembly. However, the designers can consider certain factors that […]
