The result is that the entire board is much denser, and comments can be installed on both sides of the PC board, as seen in Figure 2 . Since the board does not require drilling for component leads ...

The solders used in the Electronic Industry are rapidly changing from Tin/Lead (Sn/Pb) solders to Lead-Free (Pb-Free) solders to meet new environmental and Green requirements. Many of these ...

The printed circuit board assembly process has undergone revolutionary changes over the past three decades. What once relied primarily on manual component insertion and wave soldering has transformed ...

[Andy Brown] is a prolific hacker and ends up building a lot of hardware. About a year back, he built a reflow oven controller. The board he designed used a large number of surface mount parts. This ...

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 ...

Homebrew reflow projects generally follow a pretty simple formula: find a thrift shop toaster oven or hot plate, add a microcontroller and a means to turn the heating element on and off, and close the ...

TDK has created a range of surface-mount high-current common-mode chokes. “Customers who prefer reflow soldering but need high-current common-mode chokes can now get an SMD solution,” according to the ...

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 ...
