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 ...

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 ...

AMES, Iowa – Fifteen years ago, an environmentally-friendly solder developed by the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory made history as the first cost-effective, broadly useable alternative to ...

pv magazine’s UP sustainability campaign has investigated the use of lead in PV panels and found, with soldered cell interconnections in particular, viable alternatives are scarce. However, German ...

X-ray and advanced automated techniques combine to create a capable tool for lead-free solder inspection needs. Within two years, solder used in electronics manufactured or sold in Europe must meet ...

OPES Solutions announces the mass production of lead-free soldered solar modules. By achieving lead-free soldering in the manufacturing process, the organization eliminates a harmful but common ...

SHENMAO America, Inc. is excited to introduce its Lead-Free Solder Paste PF606-P, designed specifically for the “Reverse Hybrid” assembly process. This new approach is revolutionizing board assembly ...

Soldering, the process by which two items are joined together by melting a filler metal with a low melting point and pouring liquid metal onto the joint, is a process which is used in many important ...

Carol Handwerker’s life’s work is aimed at increasing reliability in everything from the largest Navy carrier to the family car. She does it by researching probably the most inconspicuous material: ...

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 ...

For some people (e.g. this author) solder wick is a tool of last resort. Unfortunately, solder suckers and vacuum pumps lose most of their utility when you move from through-hole to SMD components, ...

For most of the history of industrial electronics, solder has been pretty boring. Mix some lead with a little tin, figure out how to wrap it around a thread of rosin, and that’s pretty much it. Sure, ...
