Soldering is the process of using a metal alloy with a low melting temperature (solder) to fuse the electrical contacts of a component to the pads of a circuit board. Proper soldering maximizes the ...

Soldering irons, solder extractors and other equipment that comes in direct electrical contact with sensitive components can inject significant energy into these devices. Specifically, metal-to-metal ...

Tombstoning is a defect where a two-leaded, wrap-around lead-style termination chip component fails to lay down appropriately and allow solder to simultaneously make a required electrical/mechanical ...

Common inverter construction today features large Through-The-Hole (TTH) components along with smaller SMD devices on one side of the PCB, with the power module mounted on the other side and connected ...
