This week on the Great Search, we saw someone on social media talking about repairing an old device that has a 'split' supply with multiple voltages. (https://twitter.com/dorksince93/status/1779346977861615666) Usually your AC-DC adapter converts 110~220VAC into 12VDC. But sometimes you need +12V, -12V, plus maybe a 5V for good measure. And sometim…

We got a request from some folks for "solder-less pin header" - these snap-apart headers look just like your regular pin headers but they have a little slot in the shorter end that can make a cold-contact with pads on a PCB. only thing is, since they are wedged in, you need some good leverage and it takes a few tries to get the hang of it. but they…
