Microbumps must meet strict planarity requirements. Any stresses exerted during reflow, for instance, have a tendency to ...

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 ...

A proprietary reflow metallization process involves plating pure tin overcopper or brass substrates. Lead-free plating of strip and wire is available for a variety of industrial applications. Using a ...

Although these two projects are quite different, they both use the HU-320 USB breakout board that he’s in the process of getting funding for via [Pozible], or Australian Kickstarter for Yanks. The ...

BTU International has been recognised with a 2025 Mexico Technology Award in the category of 'Soldering Equipment - Reflow'.

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 ...

KIC, a renowned pioneer in thermal process and temperature measurement solutions for electronics manufacturing, is excited to announce its participation in the 2024 IPC APEX EXPO, scheduled to take ...

FCI extends its reflow process-compatible D-Sub family of connectors by introducing a new right-angle version for Pin-In-Paste (through-hole) technology. This product line extension will allow ...

This paper describes the losses from defects at the placement process in the SMT line. Two case studies of European and Taiwanese SMT manufacturers illustrate the actual losses from their defects. An ...

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 ...
