Assembling with a stencil is just that much more convenient – it’s a huge timesaver, and your components no longer need to be individually touched with a soldering iron for as many times as they have ...

This paper will address the optimization of Pb Free soldering conditions, with a focus on differences between Sn/ Pb and Pb Free soldering. This allows assemblers to build on their extensive ...

Discrete electronic components such as resistors, capacitors and even larger IC's are shrinking down smaller every year, and that makes it harder for the average home maker or hobbyist to create their ...

A new technical paper titled “Ultrafast Semiconductor Chip Bonding Using Intense Pulsed Light Soldering for Chip-on-Glass Packaging” was published by researchers at Sungkyunkwan University and ...

This is somewhat Mac related, but I think it's more of a chip issue (esp on factory-assembled boards), so I figured I'd post here. Basically, I'm having repeated failures of an ATI 4850 graphics card ...

CARLSBAD, Calif., May 2, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Palomar Technologies, a global leader in total process solutions for advanced photonics and microelectronic device packaging, announced that SST ...

The overall concept of reflow soldering is simple: put a pre-assembled board with some solder paste into an oven and bake it until the solder properly melts. When a board is reflowed, it typically is ...

Has reflowing surface mount components got you down? [Giorgos] is currently working on a project that will lift your spirits…. well at least your hot air gun. Tired of manually holding his heat gun in ...
