Most of us roughly know the history of electronics through the years. In the early days large components like electron tubes and paper in wax capacitors were used. This changed up to the point where we got used to integrated... // Read more
Electromagnetic shielding is the practice of reducing the electromagnetic field in a space by blocking the field with barriers made of conductive or magnetic materials. Electromagnetic shielding that blocks radio frequencies and electromagnetic radiation is also known as RF shielding.... // Read more
Recently our quality engineers at EPR rejected a PCB after its standard soldering process. The reason: a bad soldered component (TDK Capacitor 150pF CGA3E2C0G1H151J080AD). After analysis it was clear that this particular part should be used for conductive epoxy glue... // Read more
We share this blog because we are currently in the transition of moving from standalone libraries to database libraries for our EDA (Electronic Design Automation) tool Altium. As you may know we, and also the majority of design houses, are... // Read more
Now that autumn has really started, it is about time for our favourite innovations from the third quarter of 2018. We’re happy to share our ‘favourite four’ with you! MRI scanner with direct irradiation (UMC Utrecht, Elekta & Philips) In... // Read more
Who can still remember watching TV In the seventies and early eighties? Vehicles with spark ignition or radio amateurs could easily mess up the image quality for a brief moment, a harmless example of interference. But what about cases where... // Read more
