Introduction to PCB Surface Mount Technology PCB Surface Mount Technology (SMT) has revolutionized the electronics manufacturing industry since its introduction in the 1960s. SMT allows for the placement of electronic components directly onto the surface of a printed circuit board (PCB), rather than through holes in the board. This technology […]

1. Solder Bridging Solder bridging occurs when excess solder creates an unintended connection between two or more solder pads or traces on a PCB. This can lead to short circuits and malfunctions in the electronic device. Causes of Solder Bridging Incorrect Solder Paste application Improper solder reflow process Poor component […]

What is PCB Prototyping? PCB prototyping is the process of creating a small number of printed circuit boards for testing and validation purposes. These prototypes are used to verify the functionality, reliability, and manufacturability of the design before committing to large-scale production. PCB prototyping enables engineers to identify and resolve […]

What is a Breadboard? A breadboard is a reusable prototyping board used for building and testing electronic circuits without the need for soldering. It consists of a plastic board with a grid of holes, into which electronic components and jumper wires can be inserted. The holes are connected internally in […]
