  • Resistance Basics and Failure Mechanisms

    1 Definition and explanation of resistance. Resistance is one of the basic concepts in physics. From a physical point of view, the conductor resistance to current is called the resistance of that conductor, with the caveat that it is the current, not the voltage, that is impeded by the r...
  • HOW DIODES WORK AND WHAT THEY ARE USED FOR!

    How Diodes Work A diode is an Electronic Component that directs the flow of electricity in a single direction. These are called "active components" and are basic components of semiconductors. They can regulate the flow of electricity, maintain a constant voltage, and extract signals fro...
  • Two conditions that lead to PCB failure

    Insufficient solder joints or electrical open circuits When two electrical connections are separated, or an area on the PCB that interrupts the intended design of the circuit is called an electrical open circuit. Potential Causes The solder paste printing stage of the surface mount process c...
