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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The general process of circuit board assembly goes like this: You order your PCBs. You also order your components. For surface mount components, you apply solder paste to the pads, put the components ...

Emil Otto is aiming at joining steel, stainless steel, brass and copper objects below 450°C with three tin-based soft-soldering pastes. “The soldering and tinning pastes do not require zinc chloride, ...

While using a stencil should make solder paste application onto PCBs a simple affair, there are a number of “gotchas” that make it more art than science. Luckily, there are tools you can build, like ...

Lenovo has announced that it's devised a new manufacturing process that will save up to 35 percent on carbon emissions while increasing reliability on PC's built using the new methods. The company ...

Getting the hang of through-hole soldering is tricky for those of us tinkering at home with our irons, spools, flux, and, sometimes, braids. It’s almost reassuring, then, to learn that through-hole ...
