Current IssueSoldering Technologies
Soldering is the heartbeat of assembly, and new developments are taking place to match the rest of the innovation in electronics. There are tried-and-true technologies for soldering. But new challenges in packaging, materials, and sustainability may be putting this key step in flux.
The Rise of Data
Analytics is a given in this industry, but the threshold is changing. If you think you're too small to invest in analytics, you may need to reconsider. So how do you do analytics better? What are the new tools, and how do you get started?
Counterfeit Concerns
The distribution of counterfeit parts has become much more sophisticated in the past decade, and there's no reason to believe that trend is going to be stopping any time soon. What might crop up in the near future?

Conecsus Metals Mexico to Exhibit Waste Recycling Solutions at SMTA Chihuahua Expo & Tech Forum
August 30, 2023 | Conecsus Metals MexicoEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Conecsus Metals México, an innovative environmental technology and recycling company, will exhibit at the SMTA Chihuahua Expo & Tech Forum on Thursday, September 7, 2023, beginning at 11:00 AM, at the Sheraton Chihuahua Soberano, BARRANCA DEL COBRE 3211, Chihuahua, Chihuahua, México.
Conecsus Metals México will showcase a variety of metals waste recycling solutions. With solder waste reprocessing facilities located in Terrell, TX, USA, Conecsus LLC is a sophisticated ‘green’ recycler and refiner of SMT solder/solder paste wastes and residues, as well as complex by-products that can be recovered from industries in North America as well as World Wide.
Conecsus representatives Yessica Romero, Regional Sales Manager, and Carolina Renteria, Customer Services Manager, will illustrate how the company processes wastes containing primarily Tin, Tin-Zinc, Lead, and Silver, and converts them into usable metal products, paying its customers back for their metals waste. Conecsus is an ISO 14001 EMS-certified recycling company and a refiner of SMT solder/solder paste wastes and residues. The show offers free technical sessions, free lunch, and the opportunity to network with leading industry suppliers.

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
