Current IssueIn Pursuit of Perfection: Defect Reduction
For bare PCB board fabrication, defect reduction is a critical aspect of a company's bottom line profitability. In this issue, we examine how imaging, etching, and plating processes can provide information and insight into reducing defects and increasing yields.
Voices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.

Bourns Releases Two Compact NTC Thermistor Series Offering High-Precision Temperature Sensing and Compensation
June 5, 2025 | BournsEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Bourns, Inc., a leading manufacturer and supplier of electronic components for power, protection, and sensing solutions, announced its BTN02G and BTN04G Series SMD Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) Thermistors. Designed as a high-precision and compact temperature sensing and compensation solution, Bourns’ new NTC thermistors provide essential thermal management for today’s more sophisticated and sensitive mobile devices, home appliances, Li-ion battery packs, LCD displays and other electronic equipment.
These new thermistors feature resistance that is inversely proportional to the temperature, enabling accurate temperature measurement. The advanced and high reliability design of the BTN02G and BTN04G series combines semiconducting ceramics and internal electrodes, providing the capability to uniformly and smoothly change resistance values over a wide temperature range. In addition to the standard ±3 percent and ±5 percent high-precision resistance tolerances, Bourns’ latest NTC thermistors are also available in ±1 percent and ±2 percent resistance tolerances. The series’ B-Value tolerance is highly accurate at ±1 percent, making them superior temperature sensing solutions.
