This application note provides the PCB design and SMT assembly guidelines for Maxim Integrated’s leaded packages (SOIC, TSSOP, QSOP, QFP, SC70, SOP, SOT, etc.). Leaded packages are surface-mount ...
The SMT process is the core of the electronic assembly process, and the quality of the weld affects the overall quality of the product. For the manufacturing industry, high quality welding quality is ...
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 ...
The reasons why it’s best, or perhaps not a good idea, to bring your PCB/SMT assembly in-house. How to select the PCB/SMT equipment you’ll need to get started—stencil printer, pick-and-place machine, ...
April 2026 – ubersmt, a U.S.-based electronics manufacturing services provider, has added a full suite of PCB handling equipment from PROMATION to support its growing SMT production line. The new ...
One of the first decisions involved in laying out a printed circuit board (PCB) is choosing the type and style of components to be used. This decision is mainly driven by the PCB’s electrical ...
It directly affects electrical performance, manufacturing yield, PCB layout complexity and long-term reliability. There are ...
When we think of assembling a PCB, we’re almost always thinking about solder. Whether in paste form or on the spool, hand-iron or reflow, some molten metal is usually in the cards. [Stephen Hawes] is ...
A switch supports PCB design with performance, assembly, and operation, helping engineers fit configuration functions into electronic systems.
