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?

Dymax Introduces BlueWave MX-275
January 7, 2019 | DymaxEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Dymax introduces the BlueWave MX-275 high-intensity flood-curing system. Its light energy is delivered in a line pattern instead of the traditional round spot or rectangular flood-curing patterns, to allow for consist curing of batches of parts for maximum productivity.
The system utilizes BlueWave RediCure, PrimeCure, or VisiCure emitters (365, 385, or 405 nm) to quickly cure light-curable materials. A single emitter provides a 5 mm x 50 mm curing area, but when paired with a multichannel controller, up to four emitters can be used to produce a curing area as large as 5 mm x 200 mm. It offers very high uniformity across the entire cure area and multiple emitters can be positioned to assure uniform curing across the entire multiple-emitter curing area.
This system’s wavelength flexibility (365, 385, and 405 nm) allows co-optimization of adhesive and curing system for optimal cure results. As with other emitters from the MX product family, the BlueWave MX-275 can be set up as a bench-top unit, on an array stand to create extended line patterns, or installed on automated curing processing equipment for maximum flexibility. Emitters can also be paired with MX-series single or multichannel controllers.

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.
