Many factors affect the long-term reliability of ceramic-substrate-based chip resistors. Among those are changes in resistance due to soldering, temperature changes, or even the expected shifts in ...
Offered in 0603, 0805, and 1206 case sizes, the NPU e3 series high-precision thin-film flat-chip resistors suit processing on automatic SMD assembly systems and for automatic soldering using wave, ...
Most Hackaday readers will be a pretty dab hand with a soldering iron. We can assemble surface-mount boards, SOICs and TSSOPs are a doddle, 0402s we take in our stride, and we laugh in the face of ...
Bourns, Inc. introduced a power resistor specifically engineered to meet high temperature soldering requirements that enable improved automated board assembly. Bourns ...
How and why sub-milliohm chips warrant consideration as a separate class of component. Strategies for smart component selection, layout design, inspection and soldering process control. While ...
In our previous article on Ball Grid Arrays (BGAs), we explored how to design circuit boards and how to route the signals coming out of a BGA package. But designing a board is one thing – soldering ...
