Soldering to a PC board can be tricky: Too much heat can make the copper trace lift right off the board substrate. Use a soldering pencil rated at 15-25 watts, no more. (Watch the video; story ...

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 ...

At this year's productronica in Munich, Eutect GmbH will present its latest generation of titanium solder masks for selective ...

How creative are you when you make your circuit boards? Do you hunt around for different materials to use for the board? As long as it’s an insulator and can handle the heat of a soldering iron, then ...

I've got a Bosch dishwasher that, like many Bosch dishwashers loves to melt the solder off the heater relay and requires repair every 12-18 months. (Bosch dishwasher engineers are completely ...

For decades, solder has been the glue that holds electrical components to the circuit boards installed in computers and other electronic devices. Sunnyvale’s Verdant Electronics hopes to change that, ...

BERKELEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has developed a compact, robust, and low-cost method for interconnecting printed circuit boards (PCBs) without ...
