Rehm to Hold Seminar in Mexico
January 18, 2019 | Rehm Thermal SystemsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Rehm seminar in Mexico scheduled for mid-February What are the causes of soldering defects? And what methods can be used to avoid precisely such soldering defects? Answers to these questions will be provided at a two-day Rehm seminar to be held at the Rehm Technology Centre in Guadalajara, Mexico on February 13 and 14.
Luis Garcia, managing director of Rehm Mexico, will present the most important news as well as Rehm's portfolio and innovations to the seminar participants. The first seminar day, dedicated entirely to reflow profiling, will then begin. Dr. Hans Bell, Head of R&D at Rehm Thermal Systems, will present the reflow profiling basics: standards, guidelines, measurement options, and factors affecting the reflow profile. The effect of process-related factors on soldering quality, such as wetting, will be examined in the afternoon.
Defect management in electronics production will be the main topic on the second day of the seminar. Dr. Hans Bell will take a look at reflow soldering defects such as solder balling/spatter or solder beading – while explaining the causes of voids and strategies to prevent these. Both seminar days will offer enough discussion time for participants to exchange specialist information.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
