Struts of a car are the main part of the suspension system of vehicles, whose function is to make a connection between the tire or wheel and the body of the car. It exists on the chassis at the front side of front-wheel-drive automobiles. But they do not only exist on front-wheel-drive vehicles since their…
Why Curiosity Matters More Than Ever Every major invention begins with one question: What if? That simple spark—curiosity—has driven centuries of progress. From steam engine to spaceflight, that is one trait all engineers share. Curiosity is not only daydreaming, but it is also an engine for discovery. It urges engineers to find faults that others…
The AG10 button battery is a small non-rechargeable battery. It is a primary cell that comes with alkaline chemistry. It’s working based on the chemical reaction occurring between two electrodes, zinc and manganese dioxide. This battery is part of small handheld devices such as watches, cameras, and calculators. In this post, we cover details for AG10 battery…
Injection and casting molding are two manufacturing processes that help make different products and manufacturing processes. Polyurethane is used for making objects like vehicle gaskets, casters, settings, medical carts, and some other parts. In this post, we will cover the detailed features of injection molding, casting, and urethane casting to find their differences. So let’s…
CNC machining and 3D printing are part of the manufacturing system; these two processes have now become the main tools for industries and are considered the backbone of the manufacturing process. In this post, we will cover details for 3D printing and CNC machining, and find which one can be used for what. We with…
A PCB or SMT stencil is a thin stainless steel sheet that has openings that are laser cut and employed for solder paste applications on the board for making connections of SMD components. PCB stencils are used for solder paste applications on required points on the board, which makes easy connection of components in the…
A framed stencil is a solder paste stencil that is used for the SMT assembly process and comes with laser-cut stainless steel foil configured on an aluminum or steel frame. A framed stencil is an important type of stencil that is used on boards; it provides consistent alignment and accurate solder paste application and is…
The Internet of Things (IOT) is embedded technology in daily life uses, like from our homes to industrial machines that are working smartly. With that larger connection, there is a chance of attackers. Hardware vulnerabilities are more difficult to protect against compared to software errors. Hardware attackers target physical devices, which have a chance of…
With the advancement of technology and equipment, small and thin form factors are being introduced in electronic tools, so small surface mount technologies are now becoming a common part of PCB boards. PCB boards come with fine pitch, larger SMT components, and medium-sized components. For making these boards, a step stencil is preferred. Here we…
A screw is an inclined plane over a cylinder. It is like a cylinder that has a head at one side and a nail-like design on the other side. It also comes with ridges around the surface. Ridges, also called grooves, over the cylinder are called the thread. Screws employed for holding things also drill…
