At one time, the MELF (Metal Electrode Leadless Face) SMD components were the rage. They are love vibrations (it got dropped/knocked?), almost immune to thermal shocks (someone left it in the freezer and took it out?), better heat dissipation, and long-term stability in operation. Heck, when compared to the normal chip resistors (eg. 0805 and […]

Soldering: A process of joining two metals with a molten metallic filler (i.e. solder). There you have it. A very simple process of creating a (or an electrical) bond between two metals. The statement is simple enough without taking into consideration such as oxidation, types of solder, soldering procedures and so on. But today, I […]

Rather than wait for the 3D solution, I continued with drafting the Assembly Manual. And sadly, it still turned out to be an 8-page horror. I can cram everything into one single page with the , “do this, then do that” instructions. “Do this, then do that” When drafting an instruction manual, I always have […]
