This robotic finger is incredibly dexterous and can be DIYed! It's an open-source project with free access to tutorials and code. The finger's movements are as smooth as a human's! Ideal for those interested in robotics, research, or DIY projects. Check out the previous video for the open-source…

A missing side fillet is not the whole story. For QFN pull-back terminals, the metal stops short of the package edge. Identify that design before judging what you can see from the side. One check: match the exact package drawing to the inspection criteria. Does your drawing show pulled-back…

Don’t stop at the oven setpoint. Rehm’s Oct 29 reflow update puts complex assemblies in focus. Your buying checklist should focus on the board: 01 Populated assembly 02 Representative solder joints 03 Paste and component limits Discuss your next PCB/PCBA manufacturing brief with PCBDOG…

Measure the hot spot. Not the empty space. TDK’s October 30 robotics sensor showcase puts temperature monitoring in focus. For board heat-source monitoring with a chip NTC, placement matters: identify the heat source, position the sensor intentionally, and communicate that location before…

Same width. Different board. Microchip’s Oct 29 industrial-networking update connects to a small but important PCB question: did you copy the width—or specify the whole transmission-line geometry? Width + pair spacing + actual stackup. Make that conversation happen before fabrication. Your next…

ON the board—or INSIDE it? Infineon’s October 27 ENDOPACK news connects EV power electronics to an interesting PCB question: where does the semiconductor become part of the build? Surface component → above the board. Embedded die → within the PCB structure. Before the quote, define the stackup and…

Smart transport. Sensitive boards. ANSCER’s October 28 ATR1000 announcement is a reminder to look beyond movement speed and payload. For ESD-sensitive PCBAs, the route changes the packaging requirements. INSIDE the protected area → low-charging + conductive or dissipative handling materials…

Visible edge. Hidden joint. Different evidence. ST’s October 26 automotive sensor announcement highlights wettable-flank QFN packaging. It is a useful reminder: design the inspection plan with the assembly process. Package → side fillet. Process → consistent formation. Inspection → agreed…

Would you buy this weird little desk buddy? 😂🤖 It's ugly. It's cute. In this concept video, it moves and has attitude! A real version would need PCB, PCBA and electronics inside—not just a fun exterior. PCBDOG provides PCB manufacturing, component sourcing, SMT/PCBA, testing and final assembly for…

900V on the chip. What belongs in the PCB brief? Infineon’s October 26 announcement with Enphase brings new GaN switches into solid-state transformer development. Two paths deserve attention: Air clearance → through air. Surface creepage → along insulation. The right requirements depend on the…

From orbit to a tiny solder joint. Planet announced Pelican-12’s launch on October 20, with onboard AI computing. Here is the board-level lesson: heating and cooling can make connected materials expand differently. That movement puts stress on solder joints. Repetition can become fatigue. Your…
