[whitequark] has been experimenting with a blowtorch for SMD reflow. Having just moved 8,000 km [whitequark] was stuck without any of the usual reflow tools. They did however have a blowtorch handy, ...
When it comes to home-lab reflow work, there are a lot of ways to get the job done. The easiest thing to do perhaps is to slap a PID controller on an old toaster oven and call it a day. But if your ...
Makers and hobbyists have created all sorts of equipment to re-flow surface-mount components. The first I came across were modified domestic table-top ovens – some re-engineered to work exceedingly ...
TDK has created a range of surface-mount high-current common-mode chokes. “Customers who prefer reflow soldering but need high-current common-mode chokes can now get an SMD solution,” according to the ...
PARIS — AVX has developed a high reliability surface mount crystal resonator that provides a nominal frequency of 32.768kHz in a ceramic package measuring 3.2×1.5×0.8mm. Designated ST3215SB, the ...
