SHENMAO's New Anti-HoP Lead-Free Solder Paste Developed to Prevent HoP Issues
March 13, 2023 | SHENMAO America, Inc.Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
SHENMAO America, Inc. has released its new Anti-HoP Lead-Free Solder Paste PF606-P130N. The paste is specially designed for the SMT process to prevent head-on-pillow (HoP) issues.
The demand for ultra-thin packages has increased, thus the reduction in package thickness has caused increased warpage. The warpage during the reflow process increases the gap between BGA components and solder paste, leading to HoP issues and production yield loss.
PF606-P130N features great flux activity that can prevent oxidation of solder powder during the reflow process. Furthermore, the new paste shows excellent solderability and hot slump performance to cover the warpage of components and prevent BGA/CSP HoP issues.
PF606-P130N is designed for the SMT process, especially for thin BGA package components.

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.
