Vacuum reflow soldering technology, although limited in adoption, is emerging as a key focus in high-reliability electronics. While traditional reflow ...

Employing advanced furnace profiling and soldering techniques with a variety of solder materials, a soldering process from packaging manufacturer Thunderline-Z (Hampstead, NH) promises to speed ...

The laser is based on a phenomenon discovered during the past century, and laser technology became real and concrete at the beginning of the 1960s. In less than 50 years, it has become the basis for ...

The printed circuit board assembly process has undergone revolutionary changes over the past three decades. What once relied ...

Infineon Technologies A.G. is applying a diffusion soldering technique to overcome wire packaging limitations that constrain semiconductor performance and density and add to cost. The Munich, Germany, ...

The result is that the entire board is much denser, and comments can be installed on both sides of the PC board, as seen in Figure 2 . Since the board does not require drilling for component leads ...

Finnish scientists have tested a new eddy current-based soldering method for ribbon tabbing in solar cells and have found it considerably reduces the number of cracks and damages caused by ...

In addition to the three selective systems, Apollo Seiko will display three soldering robots, offering visitors a full look at automation options for point-to-point soldering, repeatable fine-pitch ...

Getting the hang of through-hole soldering is tricky for those of us tinkering at home with our irons, spools, flux, and, sometimes, braids. It’s almost reassuring, then, to learn that through-hole ...

A group of researchers from the Korea Electronics Technology Institute (KETI) has investigated how commercially available solder fluxes can corrode indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes in heterojunction ...
