BEST Inc. Releases Electronics Component ID Poster
August 17, 2018 | BEST, Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
BEST Inc. announces the release of a new teaching tool for soldering instructors-the BEST Inc. component identification poster. This handsome 24 x 30” poster is printed on a durable coated 48 pound paper stock.
Use this recently-developed tool for classroom teaching of component identification training, which is one of the first things usually taught to those new to the electronics industry. Clear, concise pictures of components will help students speak the language of electronics. In addition, relative part sizing and the sizing nomenclature of passive devices is displayed on a 1:1 scale on the poster. Moreover, a variety of different types of solder joints and lead types are diagnosed on the poster for student/instructor interactions.
In addition to this teaching poster, a 30 minute FREE video on component ID and terms can be found on the Solderinggeek Youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AN-epmC8tQk) . This will be useful in the onboarding process of new employees.
“This is one of those teaching tools that instructors coming to BEST really enjoy. It will be a great fit for the teaching instruction that we perform and will be a welcome addition to their classrooms back at home.” stated Alex Conley, training services at BEST Inc.
Purchase of this poster for your classroom is available through the soldertools.net web site, the BEST Amazon store or through select IPC distributors. Brand labeling is available for 25 piece or greater quantity commitments.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
