OMRON Electronic Components Europe has introduced a new range of P6K surface-mount sockets designed to streamline the assembly and servicing of printed circuit board (PCB) relays. Surface-mount ...

Should folks building small numbers of circuit boards use surface-mount parts, or should they stick with through-hole components that are so much easier to handle and solder (not to mention see)?

As computers have gotten smaller and less expensive over the years, so have their components. While many of us got our start in the age of through-hole PCBs, this size reduction has led to more and ...

The RoHS-compliant TP-107 series surface-mount PCB test points rely on a proprietary process that consists of forming the flat-wire design in a spiral wrap at the mounting base. This effectively ...
