Discovered at an electronics surplus store, the mystery component looks like a cross between an over-sized chess board and a breadboard. Failing to identify it they eventually disposed of the ...

And printed circuit boards (PCBs) – the flat boards onto which all the circuit chips, wires and other components of an electronic gadget are soldered–-constitute a big share of this e-waste.

However, they are still widely used in amplifiers and other electronic products that require large amounts of current. On a circuit board, discrete components are intermingled with the chips ...

Most modern electronic devices consist of several key components: transistors, capacitors, resistors, inductors and diodes. Often, they are supplemented by additional components like crystals and ...

In the ever-evolving world of electronics manufacturing, innovation often takes center stage. However, some traditional methods continue to play a vital role in producing reliable and durable ...

In this video, Electronic Design's James Morra, Industry Week's Robert Schoenberger, and Power & Motion's Sara Jensen discuss ...
