It’s a story we’ve told dozens of times already. The cost to manufacture a handful of circuit boards has fallen drastically over the last decade and a half, which has allowed some interesting ...

PCB inductors are a subject that has appeared here at Hackaday many times, perhaps most notably in the electromagnetic exploits of [Carl Bugeja]. But there is still much to be learned in the creation ...

Planar spiral inductors are less expensive than eitherchip or coil inductors for PCB (printed-circuit-board)-based designs. Accuracy in designinga spiral inductor is important because it isdifficult ...

All engineers know resistance is usually bad news. It generates heat. It reduces efficiency. It wears out components and cuts operational lifetimes. However, resistance is not the only kind of ...

The connection between mechanical and electrical concepts How to fit many components into a limited space. Proper communication is necessary when creating products in a team with diverse backgrounds.
