Through-hole assembly means bending leads on components and putting the leads through holes in the circuit board, then soldering them in place, and trimming the wires. That took up too much space and ...

Large electronics manufacturers are continuously looking to improve efficiencies and optimise the use of available resources. One of the biggest challenges they face is being able to track any printed ...

The company, based in Ness Ziona, Israel, has established a novel new side-mounting technology for printed circuit boards using additive manufacturing. The circuit boards they created have increased ...

As our smartphones and computers continue to become obsolete and get discarded, the environmental problem of electronic waste gets worse. Needless to say, the greater the number of electronic ...

[Jack Gassett] is developing a new breakout board for an FPGA. The chip comes in a ball grid array (BGA) package which is notoriously difficult to solder reliably. Since he’s still in development, the ...

Much of the technology that powers the modern world has a shelf life measured in years. Unfortunately, it's difficult and costly to recycle electronics, but a new project at the University of ...

Single-use electronic devices pose a challenge, as the heavy metals and other toxic materials in them shouldn't just be released into the environment, yet those substances are difficult to reclaim.

Effective printed-circuit-board cleaning requires special fluids, tools, and methods. Here are some of the most common to use and to avoid. How to effectively clean and dry printed circuit boards at ...
