In designing a PCB, one will encounter various types of holes. These holes are placed in different layers according to how the holes/cut-outs are used in a PCB design tool. The different layers for ...

Should folks building small numbers of circuit boards use surface-mount parts, or should they stick with through-hole components that are so much easier to handle and solder (not to mention see)?

The different types of PCB assembly methods like surface mount, through-hole, and mixed assembly. How these PCB assembly processes differ from each other. The performance of a printed circuit board ...

One of the first decisions involved in laying out a printed circuit board (PCB) is choosing the type and style of components to be used. This decision is mainly driven by the PCB’s electrical ...

Inspired by the wise words of commenters on this blog and a friend making an electronic thing, I thought I would share my experience of boxing projects to make reliable (claimeth I) useful (debateth ...

Vishay has added tapped holes to some of its high-current shunt resistors to aid PCB and wire mounting. WSBS8518…M3 and WSBS8518…M4 are 36W battery shunt resistors featuring M3 and M4 tapped holes ...
