According to Circuit Digest and Printed Circuit Board Basics for Dummies, a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is a device that provides a surface for mounting electronic components and electrical interconnections. All the electrical and electronic components are connected together on one co
Printed circuit board failure doesn’t happen very often, but when they do, they’re typically caused by one of 4 reasons. We’ll touch on these four causes below. Be sure to check out our infographic at the end of the article for an illustration of these causes too! Defects There are se
It’s nothing short of amazing that so many items in our everyday lives are now run by printed circuit boards. Here are a few common items you may use that frequently depend on PCBs: Consumer electronics (cell phones, TVs, speakers, alarms) Automotive components (navigation systems, so
It’s Friday night and the whole family is getting ready to have a fun night playing with their vintage arcade dartboard cabinet. As you reach for the power switch on the backside of the cabinet anticipating that familiar “DING” as the game starts up, instead you hear
As the year comes to a close we still are seeing shortages of various kinds. The electronics industry is one that is experiencing a particularly pronounced chip shortage due to the sheer number of products that utilize electronic components. This problem has persisted and evolved so l
Every now and then we get requests from some customers to repair some arbitrary circuit board and we must then switch our hats from design or assembly to a diagnosis and treatment-oriented one. Depending on the circumstances, solutions can be quick and easy, but sometimes there are m
In our last installment about soldering, we cover how to solder many common types of components using a traditional iron. A good soldering workstation is however incomplete without hot air rework. No one can argue against the versatility of the iron, but hot air can be indispensable w
