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, […]
When you pause to consider why your smartphone starts behaving erratically after exposure to bathroom steam, or why an inexpensive kitchen timer fails after spending months near a hot stove, you are touching on one of the most demanding disciplines in electronics engineering: designing systems that can survive in harsh environments. Few environments are as […]
