Winbond Electronics, a supplier of semiconductor memory solutions, has announced that its Flash Memory products will now support the low temperature soldering (LTS) process. This process reduces ...

US researchers have used under-cooled liquid metal – liquid below its freezing point – for soldering wires together at room-temperature. The project started in Iowa State University as a search for a ...

In a conventional lead-free soldering process reflow ovens operate continuously at about 260°C. An effective alternative capable of operating at a lower temperature could significantly reduce the ...

One reason why commercial soldering stations are expensive is that, in general, they require the use of soldering irons with inbuilt temperature sensors, such as thermocouples. A soldering iron that’s ...

My introduction to soldering electronics coincided with a rough patch in my marriage due to appliance failure. When my wife and I got married in 2014, in our quest to save money, we purchased a used ...

The advantages of SMT reflow soldering are reflected in three core dimensions: in terms of high efficiency, modern SMT production lines can achieve fully automated operations, completing the soldering ...

Tyco Electronics has introduced a line of surface-mount headers with 0.100-in. centerlines that can withstand up to 280°C soldering temperatures. Tyco Electronics has introduced a line of ...

Bourns, Inc. introduced a power resistor specifically engineered to meet high temperature soldering requirements that enable improved automated board assembly. Bourns ...

The development of new environmental legislation such as the RoHS Directive, has raised many concerns, especially with respect to the fact that lead will effectively be prohibited in most electronics ...
