Opto-isolator component

Opto-Isolator Circuit: A Comprehensive Guideline

Voltage surges caused by spikes, lightning strikes, and radio frequency broadcasts in the power supply volts usually affect electrical devices. Electronic equipment, including transformers, PCBs, and microcontrollers, are susceptible to voltage surges. Technologists solved the problem by introducing opto-isolator circuit in devices. Their purpose was to prevent disruptions in various pieces of equipment, like guitar amplifiers. Optocouplers provide a […]

Thermal Pad PCB: A Spoked Copper Pad for Minimizing Heat Loss

Soldering is a critical process during component assembly on a PCB. But several factors can cause poor solder joints when soldering manually or automatically. One of them is excessive heat transfer from the solder pad or thru-hole. This issue makes it difficult to attain the required temperatures to melt the metal. You can solve this […]
