I have 15 very large backplanes (.156" thick Au plating) that the ground pins of a high density thru-hole connector were not thermal relieved in the artwork. As a result we are unable to solder the 8 pins that connect to the ground plane. We know t

You probably are aware of this, but somehow get the conditioning unit as close to the sensor as you can. It sounds like the problem is the "long twisted pair shielded cable". Try different means of shielding, connect the shield at the end that has

All, Does anyone sell a safe and effective way to connect a DMM to building ground via a power outlet? Personally, I'm comfortable using a banana plug, but the people that are going to be performing this task may vary in electrical understandin

Hello Esteemed Panel, I have a question...what is the most cost effective way to get power to a PCB? By this I mean connecting power and ground without a connector but something more reliable than soldering a wire directly to the PCB. Whatever solut

In England all domestic sockets are 3 pin, with an earth. You can quite easily buy a device that plugs into the socket and has 3 press studs on the back that connect to the earth. These are usually made for connecting ESD straps to. I know RS sell th

There are many different style LGA packages, but don't sweat it. Stick with the manufacturers recommendations for PWB pad geometry for a start. Voiding can be reduced by careful profiling, and also by pre-tinning the devices. QFN style packages can b
