[Tom] doesn’t much like breadboarding. He prefers to wire up prototypes with perfboard and solder point-to-point with enameled magnet wire. That may sound troublesome to some of you, but [Tom ...

Both of them use a piece of wire and, in a way, extend the reach of your soldering iron’s tip. Copper wire would work better because of superior thermal conductivity, but other types of solid ...

I was on the cusp of replacing it after overheating and breaking the copper traces on two keys, but I was able to salvage the keyboard by soldering a wire where the traces used to be. My most ...

However, it's toxic and bad for the environment. Many solders contain a rosin core, which aids in cleaning the wires you're soldering and improves the integrity of the solder. To create a strong ...

Description: Max. temperature limit: -40...+250°C (see table for thermocouple cable used) Reference tolerances: Standards IEC 584.2 class 2 for type J, K: ± 2.5°C (-40...+333°C) Cable to DIN standard ...

Under some circumstances, we may return several hours (…or several days… or several weeks…) later and find that the weight has gradually stretched the wire. To demonstrate creep behavior at room ...
