I enjoy seeing modules that can make designing other devices easier, and when I did a call for design reviews, [enp6s0] has submitted one such board to us. It’s a module called TinySparrow (GitHub), ...

The printed circuit board has been around so long, it just can’t be in danger of being phased out, right? Well, if you have been paying attention to the increasing tendency to put electronic devices ...

The software and hardware worlds have overlaps, and it’s worth looking over the fence to see if there’s anything you missed. You might’ve already noticed that we hackers use PCB modules and devboards ...

Semiconductor manufacturers have developed innovative production techniques that enable the integration of multiple components and a dc-dc converter IC die into a single module. Producing such a dc-dc ...

With the Raspberry Pi Pico in mind, UK company OpenLX SP has answered the question: ‘how do I temporarily mount a castellated solder-down PCB module?’. The answer is a connector dubbed Clipzin, which ...

Designed for PCB mounting, the DD21 and DD22 power-entry modules are available with either one- or two-pole fuseholders for 5 x 20-mm fuse-links. A two-pole switch handles inrush current peaks of 100 ...

Form factors, new technology, thermal management and the need for more voltage rails are some of the challenges which face those designing board level products. While software is helping to address ...

The primary switched PMAS5-S and PMAS-L power modules suit PCB mounting and are vacuum encapsulated. The vertically mounted PMAS5-S module measures 42 x 30.1 x 18.2-mm while the PMAS5-L horizontal ...

A thermally-conductive PCB substrate, Tlam SS LLD enables effective heat dissipation in bright and ultra-bright LED module applications. The thermally conductive PCB substrate allegedly provides eight ...

XP Power has created a family of PCB mount ac-dc power modules for BF (body floating) medical applications such as surgical, patient treatment, patient monitoring and dental equipment. Named MCE, ...
