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?

Still Time to Sign up for Goepel Webinar on Automated 2D/3D X-Ray Inspection
October 31, 2017 | GOEPEL ElectronicEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Spots are still available for Goepel electronic’s free webinar, “A Look at the Technology in Practice – Fully Automated Inspection of Hidden Solder Joints and Voids” on Tuesday, November 7, 2017 at 11 AM EST.
The webinar will be introduced by a comparing selective-area and full surface X-Ray inspection. The advantages and disadvantages of these strategies will be presented and a technical and economic comparison will be explained. In addition, attendees will receive information about methods and technologies for the inspection of hidden solder joints of BGAs, QFNs, hidden components and voiding in large solder planes.
Learn more about the flexible use of 2D, 2.5D and 3D X-Ray imaging for maximum depth of inspection and gain an understanding of what scalable 3D image is capable of.
The following questions will also be addressed:
- How can I improve inspection depth and confidence in the quality of my PCBs?
- How can X-Ray technologies provide complete inspection at production speeds while simultaneously documenting detailed inspection results?
- Can X-Ray inspection technologies keep pace with the requirements of state-of-the-art electronics manufacturing?
- How will an X-Ray inspection system be integrated into the world of industry 4.0?
The webinar will conclude with an explanation of the optimum balance between image quality and inspection depth.
Goepel invites quality and production managers for electronic assemblies, technologists and production planners and CEOs and directors of electronic manufacturing companies to attend this FREE event.
To register, visit Goepel electronic’s “Automated 2D/3D X-Ray Inspection of single-sided and double-sided PCBs in the Production Line” event page.

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.
