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?

Fuji America Shows AIMEXIII SMT Placement System Together with Smart Factory Partners at SMTAI
October 9, 2018 | Fuji America CorporationEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Fuji America Corporation along with several of our smart factory partner companies including: FlexLink, Koh Young, Heller and Saki America; will be exhibiting at the SMTA International Trade Show, October 16-17, at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, Rosemont, Illinois, (booth #407). Together, the five companies will be demonstrating state-of-the-art multi-mix/multi-volume SMT placement technologies.
Fuji will showcase the AIMEXIII, the latest addition to our innovative AIMEX series. The AIMEXIII is available in single and dual gantry configurations and accommodates up to (130) 8mm smart feeders that can be Hot-Swapped for uninterrupted operation. Stick, strip tape and tray feeding are also supported.
The Fuji DynaHead, featuring Dynamic Tool Exchange, enables true all-in-one placement capabilities to place components ranging from 01005 thru 74mm square and up to one inch tall in addition to connectors up to 32mm x 180mm. Standard nozzles, specialty nozzles and mechanical chucks are also supported. The Odd Form head combined with the Tray Unit LT allows parts up to 1.5” to be placed.
Utilizing the latest advances in vision systems, linear drive technology and the new H24G placement head, the AIMEXIII can place small components with an accuracy of 25um and a rated speed of 35,000 components per hour per gantry (37,000 CPH at 38um accuracy) and can accommodates panels as small as 2” x 2” and as large as 28”x 30.4”, using Automatic Rail Adjustment and Auto Back-up Pin Support.
For High Mix, NPI and prototyping applications, The AIMEXIII offers ultra-fast changeover using gang feeder replacement, electronic feeder verification, GUI program verification and a machine based NPI component teaching tool allowing you to spend your valuable production time building product rather than editing programs.
The AIMEXIII combines Fuji’s 35+ years of innovation with an installed base of more than 85,000 machines worldwide.

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.
