Example high-density PCB from a Sony Handycam DCR-TRV17E The standard SMD footprints in, for example Eagle, are actually all too large, in the industry much smaller dimensions are used. Here's a P...

How to manually assemble 0402 / 0201 SMD components I prefer to always 0603 components, because they are very easy to assemble by hand. Assembling the smaller 0402 parts by hand is not that easy. ...

Prefered Chipquick solder paste To be able to apply micro-dots of solder paste, the tip that I provide has a small diameter of 22G. This has the consequence that ticker solder paste that works wit...

Solder flux storage in a nail polish jar Nail polish jars are useful for storing solder flux for daily use. The brush is resistant to all kinds of chemicals. Filling a nailpolish jar with solder ...

Spoty is a manual precision dispenser for applying extremely small amounts of solder paste to very small SMD pads such as 0402. Without compressed air, electronics or a bulky machine, Spoty provide...

For making electronic prototypes, I want to use both through-hole and SMT components on the same breadboard. For this, I designed a dedicated SMD perfboard since I couldn’t find any suitable perfbo...

Partial autoroute selective individual traces In Eagle you can also autoroute individual traces, but that is not well described anywhere. That's why I made this video: Albert Eagle libraries H...

You don't need special tools for desoldering SMD capacitors and resistors. You just need a soldering station that can be set to a high temperature of about 500°C / 900°F. This is necessary in order...

For sale high quality prototyping 1.27mm SMD breadboard For making electronic prototypes, I want to use both through-hole and SMT components on the same breadboard. For this, I designed a dedica...
