SMT, or surface mount technology, is essential for most of today’s printed circuit boards (PCBs). Almost every higher-end device enjoys the benefits of using surface mount technology, which include: Offering many more capabilities – The weight of a PCB that … Continue reading
Surface Mount Technology in PCB Manufacturing Made Easier than Ever
SMT Manufacturing Made Simple with Advanced Circuits PCB Design and Production
Surface mount technology (SMT) is a design and fabrication process that replaces the through-hole mounting of PCB (printed circuit board) components with direct placement on the printed circuit board surface. It is something that is at work in the vast … Continue reading
Toss the Prototyping Board – PCB Fabrication Is Easier and More Affordable Than Ever
The use of a prototyping board might be a fun thing for the DIY scientists and creators in the world, but building a “one-off” project is pretty labor-intensive. It involves the use of that “breadboard” or prototyping board, a schematic, … Continue reading
