Technical articles and reference guides covering electronic components, circuit design, manufacturing, and industry applications.
Soldering is one of the most important steps in PCB assembly because the solder joint provides both the electrical connection and the mechanical connection betw...
The number of copper layers in a printed circuit board has a direct effect on how the circuit can be designed and how much space is available for routing electr...
A bare printed circuit board is only the starting point of an electronic product. The board provides the conductive paths and mounting points, but the circuit c...
PCB and PCBA are two terms that are often used together in electronics manufacturing, but they do not mean the same thing. A PCB is the printed circuit board it...
Fuses and circuit breakers are both used to protect electrical circuits from excessive current. If a short circuit or overload causes the current to rise beyond...
Electronic circuits are designed to operate within certain voltage and current limits. If those limits are exceeded, components can overheat, fail, or become pe...
Sensors are used to detect changes in the physical world and turn them into electrical signals that an electronic system can use. Temperature, pressure, light, ...
Microcontrollers and microprocessors are both used to process digital instructions, but they are built with different purposes in mind. The simplest way to unde...
Integrated circuits, usually called ICs or chips, are at the heart of almost every modern electronic device. A phone, computer, car, industrial controller, tele...
Wire-to-wire and wire-to-board connectors are both used to make reliable electrical connections, but they connect different parts of an electronic system. The m...
Choosing a resistor for a circuit is usually straightforward, but the resistance value is only one part of the decision. A resistor may have the correct resista...
Ceramic and electrolytic capacitors are found in almost every type of electronic equipment, but they are not interchangeable in every application. The two types...
