PTH PCB: A Circuit Board with Electroplated Through Holes

PCB manufacturing primarily involves etching a copper sheet plated to a non-conductive substrate and drilling through holes. These holes connect the different copper layers in the board or components attached externally. However, the holes will not be conductive until a thin layer of copper gets electroplated to the hole walls. Once this happens, you get […]

Touch Lamp Circuit

Touch Lamp Circuit: A Human-Touch Sensitive Circuit for Touch Lamps

Touch lamp circuit make lamps look sleeker because they eliminate the need for flipping or pushing. Also, this touch mechanism is advantageous because it does not allow moisture or dirt to get in, like in a conventional lamp. Since we are more accustomed to using touch interfaces on mobile devices, it would be intuitive to […]
