Many factors affect the long-term reliability of ceramic-substrate-based chip resistors. Among those are changes in resistance due to soldering, temperature changes, or even the expected shifts in ...

Offered in 0603, 0805, and 1206 case sizes, the NPU e3 series high-precision thin-film flat-chip resistors suit processing on automatic SMD assembly systems and for automatic soldering using wave, ...

How to set up fixturing according to manufacturer guidelines, establishing a capable test system. How to ensure close control of assembly processes like solder-paste ...

We try to stick to the 0805 parts because they’re still big enough to solder by hand. But [Scott] shows us that it doesn’t take too many special tools to reflow fine-pitch components at home. In this ...

How to treat sub-milliohm chips as a separate class of component. Strategies to avoid pitfalls during component selection and PCB layout design. Uncover opportunities ...
