Current IssueInner Layer Precision & Yields
In this issue, we examine the critical nature of building precisions into your inner layers and assessing their pass/fail status as early as possible. Whether it’s using automation to cut down on handling issues, identifying defects earlier, or replacing an old line...
Engineering Economics
The real cost to manufacture a PCB encompasses everything that goes into making the product: the materials and other value-added supplies, machine and personnel costs, and most importantly, your quality. A hard look at real costs seems wholly appropriate.
Alternate Metallization Processes
Traditional electroless copper and electroless copper immersion gold have been primary PCB plating methods for decades. But alternative plating metals and processes have been introduced over the past few years as miniaturization and advanced packaging continue to develop.

MacDermid Enthone to Exhibit and Present at HKPCA
November 21, 2018 | MacDermid Electronics SolutionsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
MacDermid Enthone Electronics Solutions to exhibit at HKPCA tradeshow, Shenzhen, China, December 5-7, 2018.
MacDermid Enthone’s circuit board expertise focuses this year on enabling technology trends such as the cost saving and miniaturization of MSAP and high frequency MacDermid Enthone and Alpha experts will be available at booth #6H31 to discuss the latest chemical and material solutions providing process predictability and smooth scale-up at every step.
Show attendees can stop by to obtain more information about the fully expanded MacuSpec acid copper metallization portfolio, and the high performance Systek brand of specialty metallizations for IC substrates including via filling, embedded trace plating, and bump metallization processes. In-depth details about their Modified Semi-Additive Process or MSAP and information on cost effective manufacturing solutions will be available as well.
Experts from the Alpha Assembly Solutions business will be present in the shared booth to talk about low temperature solder alloys, the EV focused silver sintering technology, and the wide range of assembly products offered by the organization.
These technologies are part of a suite of processing solutions that serve the electronics manufacturing supply chain at every step, from device design, through circuit board production, semiconductor metallization, component assembly, and OEM specification. Learn more at booth #6H31.

Book Excerpt: The Printed Circuit Assembler’s Guide to... Low-Temperature Soldering, Vol. 2, Chapter 5
12/23/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamChapter 5 introduces the advantages of using low-temperature soldering for through-hole components, including cost efficiency, reliability improvement, and reduced warpage. Also covered: the evaluation of different fluxes and the performance of HRL3 in wave soldering and selective soldering processes.
Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
12/13/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007This week, Peter Tranitz discusses the upcoming Pan-European Electronics Design Conference, set for Jan. 29-30 in Vienna, Austria. Pete Starkey brings us a review of the most recent EIPC Technical Snapshot webinar, which featured a global PCB maker update by Dr. Hayao Nakahara. Don't miss our interview with Manfred Huschka, who explains how companies can begin their own China Plus One plan. Stan Farnsworth breaks down photonic soldering and discusses its use in soldering materials that are not typically compatible. I also enjoyed Dan Beaulieu’s discussion on the value of consistency, and why just showing up for work is half the battle, especially in an inconsistent, evolving industry like ours.
Advancing Photonic Soldering
12/11/2024 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 MagazineStan Farnsworth, director of customer satisfaction at PulseForge, discusses the advancements in photonic soldering that highlight its energy efficiency and versatility. Over the past two years, the company has refined its applications for flexible substrates and energy reduction, finding that photonic soldering allows the processing of materials that typically aren’t thermally compatible and offers significant energy savings compared to traditional methods.
