If you are comfortable using metrics, that equates to 1 centimeter at 100 meters. The beauty of MILS is that it is independent of the measurement scale. One MIL at 1000 yards equals one yard. At 1,000 meters, a MIL scale scope equates to 1 meter. Whichever measurement system you use...
It’s tough to remember these when they’re are all so similar. But it can help to break each word down. Think of the suffixes for mm and ml — meter and liter. That narrows it down. Then, M by itself is the Roman Numeral. Mil spelled out is the only measurement that uses an ...
Okay, so by now in this post you are aware that the micrometer is used to measure thicknesses. Wikipedia says that micrometers “are used widely for precise measurement of small distances…. Micrometers use the principle of a screw to amplify small distances that are too small to mea...
A minute is a measurement that equals 1/60th of something, in this case, a degree. It’s the same way minutes are used in latitude and longitude. The term minute is used to break degrees into 60 parts, and seconds are used to break minutes into 60 smaller parts. So, the latitude an...
Micrometers are often, but not always, in the form of calipers. pressure gauge or vacuum gauge a device used for pressure measurement. profile gauge or contour gauge a tool for recording the cross-sectional shape of a surface. radius gauge, also known as a fillet gauge a tool used to ...
The semiconductor supply chain is an integrated, complex system requiring resiliency to avoid disruption. This is particularly important because computer chips are helpful in many electronic devices. Chip shortage has hit the automotive industry hard. It has reduced the number of trucks that Daimler an...
An azimuth is an angular measurement in a spherical coordinate system. The vector from an observer to a point of interest is projected perpendicularly onto a reference plane; the angle between the projected vector and a reference vector on the reference plane is called the azimuth. ...
PCB thickness refers to the measurement of the board's overall thickness. It is typically specified in millimeters (mm) or sometimes in inches (mil). The thickness of a PCB can vary depending on the specific requirements of the application and the design considerations. WHAT IS STANDARD PCB TH...
I remember in 2011, they fielded Ben Smith, Israel Dagg and Cory Jane, when they used to have Mils Muliaina, Sitiveni Sivivatu and Joe Rokocoko, which was a big departure. Now listen, no one is saying it’s right or wrong, but what is beyond doubt is that Argentina have beaten the...
Here are some common questions about PCB contacts: What are the most common PCB contact failure modes? Frequent PCB contact failures include: Mechanical damage like cracking or deformation Solder bond failures from fatigue or contamination Corrosion and oxidation increasing interface resistance ...
