SHENMAO Addresses HoP Issues, Improves ICT Testability
September 13, 2017 | SHENMAO America Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute

SHENMAO Technology Inc. will introduces its new generation PF606-P140 lead-free solder paste and PF606-P245 lead-free zero-halogen solder paste at the upcoming SMTA International Exhibition, to be held September 19–20, 2017 at the Donald Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois. SHENMAO will be in Booth 534.
Featuring superior continuous high-speed printability and a wide reflow process window for excellent solderability, the PF606-P140 and PF606-P245 prevent head-on-pillow (HoP) issues and can easily fit into highly complicated PCB designs through excellent convergence performance. The PF606-P140 features void performance at 3.7%, while the PF606-P245, 5.5%.
The PF606-P140 and PF606-P245 improve ICT testability with flux completely removed from top of solder to prevent contamination of test pins during test operation. Minimal flux residue gathers near outside of solder joint on the PCB substrate, a substantial improvement over legacy solder pastes.

Driving Innovation: Direct Imaging vs. Conventional Exposure
07/01/2025 | Simon Khesin -- Column: Driving InnovationMy first camera used Kodak film. I even experimented with developing photos in the bathroom, though I usually dropped the film off at a Kodak center and received the prints two weeks later, only to discover that some images were out of focus or poorly framed. Today, every smartphone contains a high-quality camera capable of producing stunning images instantly.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
