In today’s electronics industry, compact, efficient, and versatile PCBs are in high demand. Rigid-flex technology allows engineers to design boards that bend and flex without compromising performance ...

In the lab, a common frustration is supporting an oscilloscope probe for continuous monitoring. There are many probe holders available: some good, some not so good, and some very expensive. Presented ...

Flexible printed circuit boards (PCBs) aren’t much different than rigid boards during the design phase, except that the designer must account for the mechanical complexity associated with flex ...

Editor Bill Wong takes a hands-on look at Sensepeek’s PCBite kit. PCBite consists of a metal base that works with spring-loaded magnetic standoffs and flexible arms with a magnetic base (see figure).

Modern power supplies are edging upward in operational frequency. The benefits include a reduction in size and weight, plus an increase in energy density. For these designs, engineers are migrating to ...

[Petteri Aimonen] presents for us a modular differential probe, as his entry into the 2021 Hackaday Prize. This project shows a simple and well polished implementation of a ...
