SAMPLES OFSOLDER-MOUNT COMPONENTS I■■■ ■国 〓蠱 器吗suU Figure 9.5 The main advantage of Solder- Mount construction over "bird s nest or"deadbug "is that the resulting circuit is far more rigid, and, if desired, may be made far smaller (the latest Solder- Mounts are for surface-mount devices and allow the construction of breadboards scarcely larger than the final PCb, although it is generally more convenient if the prototype is somewhat larger). Solder- Mount is sufficiently durable that it may be used for small quantity production as well as prototyping Figure 9.6 shows an example of a 2. 5GHz phase-locked-loop prototype built with Solder-Mount. This is a high speed circuit, but the technique is equally suitable for the construction of high resolution low frequency analog circuitry. a particularly convenient feature of Solder- Mount at VhF is the ease with which it is possible t make a transmission line7 SAMPLES OF "SOLDER-MOUNT" COMPONENTS Figure 9.5 The main advantage of Solder-Mount construction over "bird's nest" or "deadbug" is that the resulting circuit is far more rigid, and, if desired, may be made far smaller (the latest Solder-Mounts are for surface-mount devices and allow the construction of breadboards scarcely larger than the final PCB, although it is generally more convenient if the prototype is somewhat larger).
