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?

Koh Young Expands AOI Capabilities to Backend Process
November 9, 2017 | Koh Young TechnologyEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Koh Young Technology will demonstrate new backend process AOI capabilities with the KY-P3 3D pin inspection solution at productronica 2017, which will be held on November 14-17 in Munich, Germany. Koh Young will be in Hall A2 Booth 377.
Using its world-class 3D AOI technology as the foundation for development, Koh Young designed the KY-P3 to overcome longstanding industry challenges like lengthy programming time and high false call rates. Following its guidance, the new Koh Young KY-P3 delivers true 3D inspection data for single array, forked, press-fit and more pin configurations as well as applications like Final Optical Inspection (FOI) for engine control units. The system also measures pin height, solder height and pin tip separation with accuracy and repeatability.
Beyond pin measurement and inspection capabilities, the new KY-P3 incorporates the latest technologies to make programming faster and easier. The Koh Young Artificial Intelligence-driven Auto Programming software allows users to quickly generate inspection condition setting using our leading-edge Artificial Intelligence engine and optimized graphical user interface.
The known leader in electronics measurement and inspection, Koh Young is expanding its technology beyond the PCB industry. For example, the new MOI (Machining Optical Inspection) system is quickly being adopted by some of the industry’s largest smartphone makers. Koh Young is achieving its guiding vision “Measure Everything, Everywhere.”
As the absolute leader in the SPI and AOI market, Koh Young will display a broad display innovations, as well as participate in several show activities, including topical roundtable discussions and interviews on the smart factory and inspection process. If you cannot attend the show to visit Koh Young at booth 377 in hall A2, you can learn more about Koh Young Technology and its best-in-class inspection solutions here.

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
