Many beginners do not know how to start learning hardware circuits. In fact, the "hardware circuit" is composed of a part of the "unit module circuit". The so-called "unit module circuit" includes: various regulated power supply circuits (like the LM

Hi all, We run an old Seho 1135C wave solder with a 63/37 pot at 250°C. It has been running well for a couple of years but we have noticed lately that all of the larger pads (terminal blocks, transformers, etc.) require additional solder to be appli

Long story short: I paid someone to convert some older Gerber files to the new RS-274x format for me so I could have them manufactured. I sent them the original Gerber files (RS-274D) along with additional files showing information on the layout. T

In most cases PnP files are all that is needed for SMT program generation. BUT, it depends on origin reference of this data as exported to PnP and could be off in X,Y and rotation of image pending when PnP Data is exported. Also Rotation of parts

For package shapes/names I would recommend using manufacturer names. This is much safer than coming up with descriptive names like QFN32_5x5 as there are multiple 5mm 32Pin QFN shapes even when pitch is the same, this makes it safer to use a name in

Another critical part of a process with a large board is support. Most commonly this is a bed of pins e.g something like red-e-set but there are other solutions. Support with a large panel will be critical for printing to get a good gasket between PC

Those of us doing low volume with mesh ovens and double sided boards will often use the titanium strips used for making boards more rigid for wave soldering. Gives you enough clearance for lower profile items that you would typically find on the firs

What type of flux are you using today? - Obviously you have already outlined the difference in the parent materials and parent material preparation, so using the same program/profile will not work; the characteristics are different. Try increasing p
