BTU to Exhibit Reflow Ovens and Custom Furnaces at IMAPS Raleigh
October 2, 2017 | BTU International, Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
BTU International Inc. will showcase its PYRAMAX reflow ovens and high-temperature belt furnaces at IMAPS Raleigh, scheduled to take place October 10–12, 2017 at the Raleigh Convention Center in North Carolina. BTU will be in Booth 311.
IMAPS seeks to advance industry collaboration in microelectronics packaging and assembly. BTU has been involved with IMAPS for many decades as a leader in thermal processing for advanced packaging processes including solder reflow, die attach, thick film, Direct Bond Copper (DBC), lid sealing and glass-to-metal sealing processes.
PYRAMAX convection reflow ovens are known for their precision and tight regulation. The exclusive closed-loop convection technology consistently delivers the three things that create unmatched performance: thermal uniformity, atmosphere purity and very low exit temperatures. Highly controlled convection rates result in the same thermal process, line-to-line, factory-to-factory and site-to-site, on a global scale.
Proudly manufactured in America for more than six decades, BTU custom furnaces deliver peak performance and long-term reliability. BTU’s family of precision-controlled, high-temperature belt furnaces surpass even the most challenging requirements of high-volume thermal processing, with astounding control of atmosphere, down to 2ppm O2 in the process zones. This, combined with cross-belt uniformity exceeding ±2°C, delivers amazing throughput and cycle time, without process yield loss over batch processes.

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.
