The 2025 edition of the Practical Components catalogue is now available for download.
A dummy component is the exact mechanical equivalent of a live component used when only the physical properties of the components are required. These components can cost as much as 80% less than live components, making them ideal for testing of solder processes, machine setup, lead-free conversion, thermal profiling, solder training and other process evaluations where only the mechanical characteristics not the functioning components are required.
This example page from the new catalogue shows how the components are presented, and the detailed information given, including part numbers, dimensions, and finish options.
Also included in the catalogue are solder training kits, solder test/process evaluation pcb’s and kits, cleaning and conformal coating test vehicles, and fully assembled pcb’s for rework training and equipment evaluation.
