I've got a Bosch dishwasher that, like many Bosch dishwashers loves to melt the solder off the heater relay and requires repair every 12-18 months. (Bosch dishwasher engineers are completely ...

Soldering to a PC board can be tricky: Too much heat can make the copper trace lift right off the board substrate. Use a soldering pencil rated at 15-25 watts, no more. (Watch the video; story ...

This is the most complex or detailed soldering I've done so far, the QFN20 package is very small but still not impossible to solder using conventional tools. In this video I make a functional circuit ...

The basic metallurgy of solder. How to make a solder joint. How to repair a circuit board. The vintageTEK museum is a geek’s paradise to tour if visiting the Portland, Oregon area. The museum has ...

The cheapest PCBs – and therefore most common – are green solder mask with white silkscreen. It works, but it’s also incredibly boring. This is the way things were done up until a few years ago with ...

With this circuit, you can flash some LEDs for your rc airplanes or any other uav just like the real strobe navigation lights ...

The general process of circuit board assembly goes like this: You order your PCBs. You also order your components. For surface mount components, you apply solder paste to the pads, put the components ...

Here is a simple but inexpensive inverter for using a small soldering iron (25W, 35W, etc) In the absence of mains supply. It uses eight transistors and a few resistors and capacitors. Transistors Q1 ...

This is a circuit which helps us in turning off the soldering iron automatically when it detects overheating and thereby avoids it from getting damaged. This is a circuit which helps us in turning off ...

【Internal Heating Soldering Gun】This gun will not generate static electricity in usage so the precision circuit board will not be damaged.Inner-heated ceramic technology makes the 60w soldering iron ...
