A highlight of last year’s Hackaday Remoticon was a soldering competition that had teams from around the world came together online and did the well-known MakersBox SMD Challenge kit in which a series ...

Video distribution amplifiers are used to amplify a video signal and split it into multiple outputs so multiple displays can be driven. They are also used to correct the gain of an incoming video ...

Use of surface-mount technology (SMT) in consumer products offers a major competitive advantage—they enable significant design miniaturization. Surface-mount devices (SMD) come in a variety of ...

For most of us, soldering electronics means soldering on “through hole components,” that are large and easy to handle. However, when machines build components, they use “surface mount components,” ...

So I've got some storage/organizing needs. I've got some Stanley STST14027 Sort Master which works great for a number of my smaller bits, and hooks together nicely to carry them all together. However, ...

Mini LED chips can measure as small as 50μm × 100μm, with pad spacing as narrow as 5-50μm, demanding extreme precision in solder paste printing. Through technological innovation, Fitech enables its ...

Soldering irons, solder extractors and other equipment that comes in direct electrical contact with sensitive components can inject significant energy into these devices. Specifically, metal-to-metal ...
