What is an HID Ballast? An HID (High-Intensity Discharge) ballast is an electrical device that regulates the current and voltage supplied to an HID lamp. HID lamps, such as metal halide, high-pressure sodium, and mercury vapor lamps, require a ballast to start and maintain stable operation. The ballast provides the […]

What is PCB Assembly? PCB (printed circuit board) assembly is the process of soldering or mounting electronic components onto a PCB. The PCB serves as the base that mechanically supports and electrically connects the components using conductive traces, pads, and other features. PCB assembly is a crucial step in electronics […]

What is Wire Ampacity? Wire ampacity refers to the maximum current-carrying capacity of an electrical conductor, such as a wire or cable, before the conductor sustains immediate or progressive deterioration. In other words, ampacity is the highest amount of electrical current a wire can safely handle without overheating or causing […]
