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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Soldering uses alloys that melt below 840°F to join metals. Molten solder fills the space between surfaces to be joined, adheres to the surfaces, and solidifies. Typical soldering steps include: ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
