A guide to ISO 2768, the standard that sets default permissible deviations for dimensions that carry no individual tolerance.
A semiconductor is a material whose electrical conductivity falls between that of a conductor and an insulator and can be controlled by temperature, light, and impurities. This article covers semiconductor materials, doping, diodes, transistors, and integrated circuits.
Californian company Atomic Machines announced a surface-mount relay it says opens to 1,500 V isolation in 50 µs, for 800 V DC data centers.
Drill breakage on a 6 mm hole in stainless steel is a common and preventable failure. Push the feed rate too high and the drill advances faster than it can evacuate chips, cutting forces spike at the tip and margins, and the drill snaps mid-cut.
