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, […]
This article explores various types of PCB materials, their composition, electrical and mechanical properties, advantages, disadvantages, and applications in different industries. Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) form the backbone of almost every modern electronic device — from small gadgets to industrial machines and communication systems. The performance, durability, and reliability of a PCB depend largely on […]
When you are designing a printed circuit board (PCB), so much consideration is made on the placement of components, routing as well as the functionality but there are times that something has gone wrong and it is in the face of your eyes. Trace sizes, the length, width, and distance between the copper tracks on […]
