Inhaltsverzeichnis flux probe theory of operation circuit explanation Fotos Notes flux probe Flux Probe is a test prod for measuring currents without touching the conductor it is flowing through. More accurately it is measuring the magnetic flux. This way you can measure currents on PCB traces without having to put a resistor in between. This …

By: Alex Danovich, President San Francisco Circuits We live in an exciting time where we see a resurgence in electronics as a hobby. Mass production has wiped out a generation or two of kids learning to build radios from scratch with their mom or dad. In the good old days, not sure when, you had …
The last step in my PCB design process normally is the silkscreen. When I try to design a nice helpful silkscreen, I often find my self wondering “How small can I make the text?” or “If I put this text over a via, will it still be readable?”. Usually I end up digging around some …
To reach a maximum mechanical stability, many Sonitron piezo components are now available even with a foam tape. Sonitron piezo components feature a high reliability, resistance to harsh conditions and also to vibrations. Despite these features, usually one of the weakest points (as for the vibration-resistance) is the joint of leads with a PCB. That´s …
As PCB part placements get denser, it’s necessary to add breakaway panels that add additional board material (edge rails) to accommodate the assembly process. Two parallel edges are required for a PCB to be processed in the SMT line. This is to prevent skewing through the conveyor system. Also, all odd shaped PCB’s must have …
A new PCB design web application was released this last week called PCBWeb. The website states that PCBWeb is a free browser-based CAD application for designing and manufacturing electronics hardware. The tool is currently released in BETA and allows you to create a schematic, full circuit board layout, and then export to Gerber format for …
Razen features an integrated schematic and layout editor with forward- and back-annotation. Editing library parts uses the same schematic & layout interface. 3rd-party part libraries can be imported and used directly from the editor. The interface, shortcuts and editing tools are customizable – from simple shortcut-key/display options to Python-scriptable editing tools. All projects are stored …
