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?

Rehm to Demo Innovative Equipment at NEPCON Shanghai
March 26, 2018 | Rehm Thermal SystemsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Rehm Thermal Systems will once again be represented at NEPCON Shanghai, the leading trade fair for the Asian electronics manufacturing market. The latest systems engineering, innovative software solutions and competent process consulting await you from April 24-26, 2018 at our stand 1F20.
We will present the following at NEPCON Shanghai:
VisionXP+ Vac: The 2-in-1 solution for convection reflow soldering
The VisionXP+ convection soldering system combines various advances in technology, particularly with regard to energy efficiency optimisation and emissions reduction. It allows customers to reduce energy use in electronics manufacture by up to 20% and consumes on average 10 tonnes less CO2 per year. For the first time ever, the vacuum option makes it possible for convection soldering to take place with or without a vacuum – in one system! The VisionXP+ Vac reliably removes gas cavities and voids during the soldering process, while the solder is still in its optimum molten state. With a vacuum pressure of up to 2 mbar, void rates of less than 2% can be achieved.
CondensoXC: Compact structure – huge performance
The CondensoXC, designed for reliable condensation soldering, has a compact structure thanks to its innovative processing chamber. And it performs in a big way. With its patented injection principle, the exact amount of Galden® required is added to the process for optimal profiling. The closed-loop filter system allows almost 100% of the medium to be regained and filtered. The system is completely suitable for vacuums and has an integrated process recorder for maximum traceability.
ViCON: Smarter Software for more efficiency
Rehm has developed with ViCON an innovative solution for easy operability and optimal traceability in the VisionX series. The software can, for example, monitor all values that have changed, or collect and statistically evaluate alarms in order to avoid errors and to optimize machine settings.

Suggested Items
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.
Indium Introduces New ROL0 and Halogen-free Flux-cored Wire
12/11/2024 | Indium CorporationIndium Corporation announced the global availability of CW-807RS, a new high-reliability, halide- and halogen-free flux-cored wire that improves wetting speeds and cycle times for electronics assembly and robot soldering applications.
