Pros and Cons of Selective Soldering Machines
Selective soldering machines are a compromise solution in modern PCB Assembly (PCBA)processes. Despite the advancements in surface mount technology (SMT), electronic components still rely on traditional Through-Hole Technology (THT) due to cost or material constraints. Even though most components on … Continue reading
