PCB layout Printed Circuit Board

circuit boardEverything about PCB or Printed Circuit Board you need to know!
Circuit board assembly, repair and design, stripboard, veroboard, PCB layout, manufacturing, fabrication and design software.
All electronic components must be interconnected and assembled to form a functional and operating system. The use of miniaturization parts in electronic equipment design introduced a new technique in inter-component wiring and assembly that is known as the printed circuit board.

Printed Circuit Boards on Laserjet

How to make your own printed circuit boards (PCBs) using a laserjet printer presented by MakeMagazine. In the video they use the toner transfer method: print your pcb layout using a laser printer and then tranfer the toner from a sheet of paper on a sheet of copper.

SMT PCB testing circuit board

SMT PCB testing circuit board presented here is ideal for experiments with SMD components. The four identical zones with copper isolated “islands” permits connections of almost all SMD components and even integrated circuits. (more…)

SMD SMT soldering

smdSMD soldering – At first, I tinned all the circuit board pads for the SMD chips before trying to mount them. That was a mistake. With both pads for chip tinned, heating up one end of the chip caused the situation in Figure 5. When heat was applied to the other end, the chip would not seat properly since the first end was frozen in place by the solder. (more…)
