As the core technology used in modern electronics manufacturing, surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly density is increasing, the number of pins is increasing, and the pitch is decreasing. In ...

Drag soldering works exactly as its name implies, by dragging a bead of solder across fine-pitch pins you can quickly solder an entire row. The method relies on clean joints, so liquid solder flux is ...

Optimizing speed and time are not only the ingredients to fulfill gold medal aspirations on the Olympic track, but the prerequisites to a robust surface mount (SMT) process of memory to bottom (logic) ...

The different types of PCB assembly methods like surface mount, through-hole, and mixed assembly. How these PCB assembly processes differ from each other. The performance of a printed circuit board ...

Winbond Electronics, a supplier of semiconductor memory solutions, has announced that its Flash Memory products will now support the low temperature soldering (LTS) process. This process reduces ...

Bannockburn, IL. IPC’s Hand Soldering Competition at SMT Hybrid Packaging 2017 will see skilled competitors go soldering iron to soldering iron May 16-18 in Nuremberg as they compete for cash prizes ...

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 ...

In a conventional lead-free soldering process reflow ovens operate continuously at about 260°C. An effective alternative capable of operating at a lower temperature could significantly reduce the ...
