The best way to clean an electronic circuit is to use isopropyl alcohol. Isopropyl alcohol is a great PCB cleaner as it is inexpensive and evaporates quickly. Isopropyl alcohol is safe for circuit boards and most components on the board.

How to Read a Capacitor
A capacitor is a circuit element that responds to rapidly changing signals. Capacitors store the energy from strong signals and can turn this energy into the circuit when needed. The…
What Is the Difference Between Electrolytic and Ceramic Capacitor?
A capacitor is a two-terminal passive electronic component that stores energy in the form of electrical charges. While there are capacitors in many forms, they all contain at least two conductive plates separated by a dielectric layer. Electrolytic and ceramic capacitors are the two main types of capacitors used in electronic circuits. The main difference between the two capacitors has to do with the layer separating the conductive plates.
How to Identify a Bad Capacitor
A capacitor, also known as a condenser or condensator, is an electronic component that stores electrical energy. Like any other electronic component, capacitors are extremely sensitive to voltage spikes. Voltage fluctuations can permanently damage capacitors and cause them to fail. There are different methods to test if a capacitor has failed.
Light Bulbs Will Now Have to Emit a Minimum of 45 Lumens per Watt
Under President Biden’s direction, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has finalized its new efficiency rule to phase out high-energy incandescent lamps. According to this regulation, all bulbs must emit at least 45 lumens per watt.
What Is LxBy (L90B10, L80B10, L70B50)?
LxBy parameter specifies when the luminaire’s lifetime will expire and how large the margin of error is in its operation. The standard LxBy terminology includes two indicators. The L value indicates the minimum of the luminous flux to be maintained during a certain period of use. The B value indicates the error rate. This refers to the time it takes for y% of the LEDs to reach x% of the initial flux.
How to Repair BMW F30 LED Daytime Running Light (Angel Eye)?
It is a common problem that one or more of the rings in the LED daytime running lights go out, especially in the F30 body type of the BMW 3 series. Although authorized services say that it is not possible to repair and the headlight should be replaced, this is not true. It is possible to repair the headlight by replacing the LEDs or related electronics in the headlight.
What Is a Spectrophotometer?
Devices that measure electromagnetic energy precisely at certain wavelengths of light are called spectrophotometers. The spectrophotometer is used to identify colors and determine how much of each color is present in a light.
What Is the Difference Between Polycarbonate and Acrylic?
Polycarbonate and acrylic are clear plastics commonly used in the lighting industry. Both provide lightness, flexibility, durability and high light transmission. Materials have different strengths and weaknesses against each other. These two types of plastic are often confused with each other as they are similar in appearance.
