Surface Mount Soldering is a commonly used technique in the Surface Mount Technology (SMT) assembly process. Instead of components with leads inserted into holes as with “Through Hole” soldering, in this technique, components are attached to the...
DetailsPoor soldering tip maintenance is a common culprit in most soldering issues. Most of which is caused by a heavy buildup of oxidation on the soldering iron tip’s surface. A bad tip is unable to perform an effective heat transfer to the connection...
DetailsElectronics used to operate solely at standard temperatures. Today, it doesn’t only demand faster and more powerful circuitry, modern electronics also require boards to function in much harsher environments, including extremely high temperatures,...
DetailsBefore Surface Mount Technology, through-hole circuits were the industry standard. They require holes to be drilled on the board. Then, components were mounted on the side of the board by threading their leads through matching holes (hence the name).
DetailsWith the increased use of technology this year due to all the lockdown protocols, the demand for electronics has surged. Technical training, however, hasn’t kept up with the pace. This gap resulted in skill shortages, especially in the electronics...
DetailsSoldering is a fundamental skill used in several electronic tasks and projects such as building a circuit. It is a process that allows electric current to flow between two conductors, establishing a connection between electronic parts.
