  Sure, it always just starts with “I’ll just solder a few resistors here; what’s the problem?”, but before you know it your kid is gonna be out there giving acid baths to PCBs.

    This is so overkill; all you need is a lighter and a spoon, and those contacts basically bond themselves

  My relatives (I lived with them for a few years) found my leftover pipettes and stirring rods from my chemistry classes in my room and they genuinely thought I was doing drugs. One of them harassed me over it and another told me that she’s always open if I need to talk about it. But whenever I try explaining that it’s for school she brushes me off lmao

  Not ragging on anyone for ignorance, never will, but it’s a little weird how many people are asking what these are, especially in such a nerdy community.

  • Ledivin@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    You’re not gonna believe this, but most chemists never touch electronics. “Nerdy” is a really, really, really wide category.

    source

    • ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      You can be a nerd about anything. A language nerd who speaks 20 languages and studies ancient Akkadian for fun won’t know what those are.

      I mean I am a nerd, but I haven’t much of a clue about trees and plant life.

    Here’s a circuit board with resistors installed. They’re used by hobbyists to make their own boards.

    Image

    However, even for hobbyists, surface mount versions are now common:

    source

    • Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Yeah, the first kind is more common when you’re a beginner hobbyist and are just starting to learn to solder just using a run of the mill soldering iron and soldering wire, whilst the second kind at the very least requires some experience soldering and a steady hand, or some special equipment (an over for it and solder paste - which unlike solder wire spoils with time if unused).

      However you can make way smaller circuits with the second kind (even if using the bigger surface mount components) plus many integrated circuits only come in surface mount versions.

      Also the second kind can be wholly and easilly be assembled by machines (in fact the really small surface mount components are near impossible for humans to properly place), which is why if you open an electronic device nowadays you’ll see it’s almost or even entirelly made up of surface mounted components.
