Is there a surface-mount component I can put on a pad, that simply has another pad on top that I can solder something on to?

We found that edge-mounting a TO-Can package to a PCB will really save a lot on manufacturing. Echter, it comes with fairly long through-hole pins that are taking up too much space to reach the pads. Any suggestion?

I would consider making a small (eg. 9mm x 9mm) right-angle PCB and joining it by solder either on the edge or in a slot depending on how long the leads are. You could notch the board for more positive location on the edge.

How can I make electrical connections over v-score line?

I was thinking how to make electrical connections over v-score line year ago and I was thinking that there is no solution. Any tips?

How can I mount a pulse oximeter on the surface of PCB without putting too much stress?

The PCB has a pulse oximeter mounted on the surface, and it’s tolerance is 0.6mm. The problem is the pulse oximeter needs to touch the bottom case at all times. How to best mount the PCB in the case without putting too much stress on the pulse oximeter? Will screws with flexible washers be all right? Sadly separating pulse oximeter from main PCB is not an option.

Wat gaat er mis als het op een hogere temperatuur wordt bewaard of over de houdbaarheidsdatum heen is??

Soldeerpasta moet in de koelkast worden bewaard en heeft een houdbaarheidsdatum. But what exactly will go wrong when it is stored at a higher temperature or past its shelf life?
