SchmartBoard, the developer of a technology that has simplified the creation of electronic circuits for hobbyists, students and electronic engineers, has released two new boards that address tiny discrete surface mount components.
The first new board (EZ Discrete #1) supports 0201, 0603, 0805, 1206,1210, 1608, 1812, 2010, 2512, and CAES-A, B, and C.
The second new board (EZ Discrete #2) supports SOT23-3, 5, 6, SC70-5,6, DPAK, D2PAK, SOT223, TO263-7, SOT89, 0805, 1206, and CASE-A, B, C, D and E.
Many of these components are very small and require a magnifying glass to see, let alone hand solder without creating shorts. The new Schmartboards lock the component in place on the board, and then they are hand-soldered by simply touching the board with the soldering iron next to the component. Because the solder is already on the board, the job is much simpler.
Before the SchmartBoard|ez line of prototyping boards was launched in September 2005, it required an expert to hand solder most surface mount components. SchmartBoard's technology has made it possible for novices to quickly and flawlessly hand solder some of the most difficult components.
The SchmartBoard|ez family of boards allow engineers, students and hobbyists to hand solder surface mount components and has expanded their capabilities in creating electronic circuit projects.
