Introduction to PCB Safety Standards Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are essential components of nearly all modern electronic devices. They provide the foundation upon which other components are mounted and interconnected to create a functional system. However, as PCBs are often in close proximity to heat-generating components and may be subject […]

Introduction to PCB Safety Distance When designing and manufacturing printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is crucial to consider the safety distances between various components, traces, and layers to ensure proper functionality, reliability, and compliance with industry standards. PCB safety distance, also known as clearance or creepage distance, refers to the […]
What is Solder? Solder is a fusible metal alloy used to create a permanent bond between two or more metal surfaces. It is commonly used in electronic assembly and repair to join components to printed circuit boards (PCBs) or to create electrical connections between wires. Solder typically consists of a […]

What is a DPDT Relay? A Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT) relay is an electromechanical switch that uses an electromagnet to control two separate electrical circuits simultaneously. It has two sets of contacts, each with a normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) position, allowing for greater flexibility in switching […]
Introduction to Double Throw Relay A double throw relay, also known as a changeover relay or a SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) relay, is an electrically operated switch that allows switching between two circuits. It consists of a coil, an armature, and a set of contacts. When the coil is […]
