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 ...

Often it feels as if soldering is deemed to be more of an art form than something that’s underpinned by the cold, hard reality of physics and chemistry. From organic chemistry with rosin, to the ...

A vacuum can be used to achieve real advantages in the soldering process. We needed to take a closer look at the soldering process with vacuum profiles, so an evaluation project was performed. As a ...

The complexities associated with the use of solders in electronic products. What’s the alternative to solder? A long-standing adage observes that “if the only tool in your tool chest is a hammer, the ...

The processes of brazing, soldering, and welding are often miscategorized as all being welding. In the process of welding, both the edge of the base metal and the filler metal are melted. During ...

Etek Europe has been appointed as the official UK representative for SMT Thermal Discoveries, a globally respected German manufacturer of advanced reflow soldering systems with over 35 years of ...

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 ...

Soldering is rapidly becoming the skill of a bygone era. Much like the ability to drive a car with a manual transmission, read a map, or write a check, Gen Z is learning less and less about how to ...

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 ...
