Providing designers with a surface-mount option for higher power circuit designs, resistor manufacturer Stackpole Electronics Inc. recently introduced a molded surface-mount metal oxide resistor ...

Should folks building small numbers of circuit boards use surface-mount parts, or should they stick with through-hole components that are so much easier to handle and solder (not to mention see)?

As computers have gotten smaller and less expensive over the years, so have their components. While many of us got our start in the age of through-hole PCBs, this size reduction has led to more and ...
