These articles are related to the production of printed circuit boards, or to the storage of these boards or components.
- Reel quantity estimate
- 2024-12-02
A simple method to estimate the number of components left on a reel. - Mini-reel for SMD components
- 2024-12-10
The mini-reel is a reel for SMD components on cut tape. It is compatible with the standard 7" reels (and compliant with EIA-481), only smaller. It is well suited for storing small quantities of SMD components on cut tape. - Mini-tray for SMD components
- 2024-12-02
The mini-tray is an alternative to the standard JEDEC tray for semiconductors. It is diemnsioned such that three mini-trays (when lined up) have the same width & length as one JEDEC tray. - Magnetic PCB holders
- 2024-12-02
General purpose PCB holders with a magnetic base. The PCB holders lift the PCB a few millimeters from the base, so that they are suitable for (most) PCBs with components on both sides. - Reflow soldering profiles
- 2024-12-02
With a special focus on the eC-reflow-mate from Eurocircuits, this article delves into the art and craft of creating reflow soldering profiles. Phenomenons like thermal inertia and their effects on the soldering profile.
