X-ray and advanced automated techniques combine to create a capable tool for lead-free solder inspection needs. Within two years, solder used in electronics manufactured or sold in Europe must meet ...

Solder joint faults can be described with a single word – pernicious. Solder joints connect the BGA package, containing an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) core, to the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) ...

The objective of this article is to explain the best techniques for soldering sensors manufactured by Merit Sensor using automated equipment. All profiles must be assessed and tested for best ...

Engineers use physical testing with computational analysis to develop accurate models of soldered joints. It might be hard to swallow, but solder is an essential part of the U.S. nuclear arsenal. Each ...
