What is the application of tactile buttons?
What are tactile Button and how are they different from the other buttons or switch. In what applications are they usually used in electronics.
Solution:
This kind of buttons are also known as push buttons. When it's being pressed it closes the switch(circuit) and when released it opens it up. Which allows flow of current.
It can be used in a boot or reset pin part for embedded devices....
help me choosing the right sensor of ligne following and color detection for my robot
Hello, can you help me choosing the right sensor of ligne following and color detection for my robot , there is two options TCS34725 vs AS7262 , i need to buy one what is the best option ...

DevHeads Demo: How to Read A Datasheet
We get it. You're a pro. You don't need a refresher on how to organize and name your design files, where to find the best distributors, or how to read a data sheet...
But in case you do, in this DevHeads Demo we're joined again by DevHeads resident hardware design expert Petr Dvorak, who explains what to look for in, how to find, and then how to read a good electronic component data sheet. It's a skill many of us take for granted until it's too late—which usually happens to be when you need part information the most.
Join us for a brief overview that will help you—and hopefully manufacturers—make the most of your time when reviewing documentation....
MLCC Capacitor Variants and Use Case
During component selection process in my designs, I normally see capacitors of different variant like X7R, X5R, and NP0 for MLCC caps. what sets these variants apart, and in what design conditions should they be used. And how do i know the right one to choose for my designs.
Solution:
The best ones C0G = +/-30PPM over a temperature range of -55 to +85°C
The good ones X7R = +/-15% over a temperature range of -55 to+125°C
The bad ones Z5U = +/-22%, 56% over a range of +10 to+85°C...

I want to tell more about the process of solder paste printing. The reflow soldering process naturally contains more steps than the solder paste printing. Regarding the sensitivity to failures, the solder paste printing drives the entire job.
The fine component pitch requires "finer" solder paste types. The word finer means finer solder paste powder distribution. In other words, the solder paste particles are smaller and homogeneously distributed.
The solder paste temperature when printing must be your concern as well. Too-liquid solder paste does not keep its shape, while too-thick solder paste does not enter the stencil openings. The other trap is that the optimal temperature window for the solder paste printing is relatively narrow. It means you must cool down the paste after a few print runs....
Selecting Antenna Connector Types for RF Circuit Boards
I'm working on an RF circuit board design and I'm a bit stumped on which antenna connector type would be best suited for it. I need something compact yet efficient in terms of signal quality. Could you recommend some options and provide insights into their pros and cons?
Solution:
You can check here they have embedded antenna https://www.johansontechnology.com/antennas
What is Load Capacitance of A Crystal
When Designing circuits and while reading the datasheet of crystals, it usually talks about load Capacitance. Please help me to understand the function of load Capacitance and how it affects the oscillating circuit in my design. Usually it's rated in pico farads. What happens to the crystal if a load Capacitor is not added.
Solution:
load capacitors are not optional component; they are a fundamental part of the crystal oscillator design.
Zero Ohms resistor on the Power Line
Am designing a PCB Board, in the schematics section at the power line, I added a Zero ohms resistor to VBUS power rail for cleaner power. Is adding this value of resistor a good practice at the power rail of a design, is there any tendency of the circuit not functioning as required?
Solution:
I place 0R resistors not for the sake of cleaner power but for the sake of the ability to separate circuits when debugging. I believe this is the common motivation for many engineers.
Yes, it's a good practice to place 0R resistors into circuits. Especially:
• At power supply inputs.
• At power supply outputs....
