“Nailed on draw” @PhilKitro @tsf_podcast weekend preview 😅😅😅 #knowyourstuff

Hi, this is 𝗻𝗼𝘁 SMT ❌ This video has been making the rounds in the past few months, with authors claiming this is an example of surface mount technology (SMT). It looks cool, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗦𝗠𝗧 🙅 The video is fuzzy (and not oriented correctly), but it clearly shows large through-hole components (what appears to be a mix of polypropylene and film capacitors, a connector and a big red LED) being inserted into a PCB board that has 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 been mounted with surface mount components (see the large black ICs). In fact, this video shows the insertion of components for #𝗧𝗛𝗧 - 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵-𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗹𝘆. This kind of machine is ideal when mass-producing a #PCB design that has 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗯𝘂𝗹𝗸𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵-𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀. The components are typically prepared specifically for mass production with preformed shorter leads. The operating principle and speed are similar to SMT, but there are some noticeable differences: 1. The PCB moves instead of the picker head, as with #SMT pick and place machines. 2. The pick and place jobs have been separated, with the ‘pre-picked’ components being fed in on a conveyor system. 3. An arm under the machine bends the leads as each component is inserted This kind of machine was cutting-edge half a century ago, but modern insertion machines look a lot more like SMT machines. The PCB is stationary, components are fed in through separate channels and imaging systems use complex algorithms to inspect each part before insertion. There are many through-hole assembly methods suited for different quantities, component types and designs. Which method used depends on a number of factors, including: 🔢 The number and size of the through-hole components 📈 Production volume 🎯 Placement of other components For example, heat-sensitive components and boards with high component densities may not be suited for wave soldering. Manual insertion is still commonplace for small to mid batch production. See real PCB assembly from NextPCB 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=vPocwqOS… #knowyourstuff

It was so fun to be in costume at the CTC, lots of people recognized my costume and said hi, but #annoyed because two people called me Padme when I’m obviously Leia #knowyourstuff #fakefans

People are calling it the monado when it’s OBVIOUSLY lucky seven #smh #KnowYourStuff #INeedNoah
