SMT

Assembling tiny SMD components by hand is one of the most challenging parts of PCB manufacturing. Some components, especially 0201-sized parts, are so small that accurately placing them with tweezers can quickly become a tedious and error-prone task. That's why factories rely on highly automated pick-and-place machines that can cost thousands, or even millions, of…

BeanCounter is a SMT parts counter that fits in your pocket and uses two IR photointerrupters to count parts about as fast as you can pull them through. Powered by a CR2032 coin cell, it works with any opaque, 8-mm-wide carrier tape up to 2 mm in height, which covers most 0805-or-smaller LEDs and passives, as well as SOT23 transistors. It can be configured for…
