MetCal Connection Validation – The Next Generation of Soldering
https://www.electronics-lab.com/metcal-connection-validation-next-generation-soldering/
Making solid connections between electrical components on a board is an important part of many hardware projects. A good solder joint forms an alloy at the surface of the PCB and the component lead. During soldering, a solder connection on a circuit board can quickly turn into a real nightmare if not caught immediately, ending […]
