Hacks of Electronics
Printed Circuit Board (PCB) assembly is the heart of modern electronic product manufacturing. Two primary methodologies dominate PCB assembly: Surface Mount Technology (SMT) and Through-Hole Technology (THT). Each technology has unique characteristics, advantages, limitations, and ideal use cases. This article presents a detailed, side-by-side examination of SMT and THT, covering fundamentals, process steps, component types, […]
Electronics work may appear calm and controlled, but anyone who has spent meaningful time in a lab or workshop understands that it involves a complex interaction between heat, voltage, chemicals, sharp tools, and sensitive components. Every experienced technician has a few stories that begin with “I almost…”. Tools and systems that seem harmless can injure […]
In the modern globalized business environment, sourcing electronics has become a crucial business strategy that companies seek to adopt in a bid to remain competitive, responsive, and innovative. Surprisingly, France, Spain, and Portugal have also been receiving growing popularity as the source of attractive electronics in the European region. Some of the factors that are […]
In the case of the introduction of an electronic product, the quality and efficiency of the manufacturing process may make or break the end result. Some of the most important factors in this expedition would be the printed circuit boards (PCBs) and the cables connecting them, to maintain a smooth flow of signals and power. […]
In the case of manufacturing, each part counts, especially those that make your machines and electronics connect and work together smoothly. One such crucial component is custom wire harnesses, which form the foundation of electrical connections in both motor and aerospace industries. Sourcing appropriate wire harnesses may seem daunting, but with the right knowledge and […]
When a new electronic device fails, the culprit is often the materials inside it. From smartphones to medical devices, every component relies on materials that can handle electrical loads, heat, and environmental stress. Choosing the wrong materials doesn’t just affect performance, it can lead to costly recalls or safety risks. This post details understanding material […]
