New boards allow hand soldering of SMT ICs as large as 240 pins
21 February 2007Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services
SchmartBoard, the developer of the technology that has significantly simplified the creation of electronic circuits for hobbyists, education and industry, released three new boards for large QFP (Quad Flat Pack) devices at the Electronics West Show in February.
SchmartBoard|ez prototyping boards allow virtually anyone to hand-solder surface mount components quickly and easily. Prior to the development of this technology in late 2005, few people had the dexterity to hand-solder surface mount components with small pitches such as 0,8 mm or smaller. The advent of SchmartBoards allowed people to hand-solder components with up to 100 pins, which previously was inconceivable to most engineers, students and hobbyists.
Based on demand from experienced users, SchmartBoard launched several new boards with the ability to support larger and more complicated components. Three new SchmartBoards will now support large QFP package components. Other prototyping options for large surface mount components require expensive sockets.
The three new boards have been specially created for QFP components and are available at the following specs: 0,8 mm pitch with 120-144 pins; 0,65 mm pitch with 112-160 pins; 0,5 mm pitch with 128-240 pins.
