The photos included illustrate some of these components soldered to circuit boards. What automated soldering methods can be considered for Mini-Circuits surface-mount components? There are two basic ...

As the core technology used in modern electronics manufacturing, surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly density is increasing, the number of pins is increasing, and the pitch is decreasing. In ...

Although optical subsystems are widespread in applications such as sensing and telecoms today, the way in which the optics components are assembled and packaged remains a tricky and time-consuming ...

Let’s face it friends, everything is moving toward surface mount components. We’ve seen quite a few features here that cover using stencils to populate boards and using ovens to reflow. [Oleg] has put ...

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) has introduced the first Automotive Grade AC line rated ceramic disc safety ...

High-reliability interconnect company Harwin has introduced a range of surface mount EMI/RFI shield clips which reduce assembly time and simplify rework by eliminating secondary soldering operations.

Allowing for surface-mount assembly with a reflow soldering process, SMDY1 Automotive Series capacitors decrease production costs. Unlike leaded components, the devices deliver a low, flat profile on ...
