Assembling with a stencil is just that much more convenient – it’s a huge timesaver, and your components no longer need to be individually touched with a soldering iron for as many times as they have ...

This is exactly what it looks like. [Oleg] calls it soldering in inert atmosphere, but it’s just a toaster oven reflow hack dropped into a container full of carbon dioxide. Why go to this trouble?

Reflow Soldering Guidelines for Lead-Free Packages Application Note 353 July 2004, ver. 1.0 Introduction The recent directives and legislations by nations around the world have mandated elimination of ...

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 ...

Discrete electronic components such as resistors, capacitors and even larger IC's are shrinking down smaller every year, and that makes it harder for the average home maker or hobbyist to create their ...

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 ...

This video describes Digicom’s solder reflow services. The advanced high-throughput convection reflow oven from Digicom produces customized time-temperature profiles for each board. A gold super-mold ...

This is somewhat Mac related, but I think it's more of a chip issue (esp on factory-assembled boards), so I figured I'd post here. Basically, I'm having repeated failures of an ATI 4850 graphics card ...

Capable of withstanding 260ûC peak solder reflow conditions while meeting JEDED Level-3 standards, Hysol FP4453 dam-and-fill encapsulant is a black, high-viscosity liquid that provides minimum flow ...

The overall concept of reflow soldering is simple: put a pre-assembled board with some solder paste into an oven and bake it until the solder properly melts. When a board is reflowed, it typically is ...
