What are you paying the most attention to as we enter 2025? Find out what we learned when we asked that question. Join us as we explore five main themes in the new year.
Soldering 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?

Ellsworth Adhesives Europe Now Offers Metcal CV-510 Soldering System
April 8, 2019 | Ellsworth Adhesives EuropeEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
The new Metcal CV-510 Connection Validation Soldering System, companion station to the manufacturer’s popular CV-5210 Soldering system, is now available to order from Ellsworth Adhesives Europe.
The Metcal CV-510 packs all the unique features of Connection Validation (CV) technology into a compact and economical housing. Connection Validation is a patented technology which can evaluate the quality of the solder joint by calculating the intermetallic compound formation and provides feedback to the operator. The introduction of the CV technology is an industry first, as it offers not only control of the tip temperature but also closed-loop feedback in real time to the operator via the integrated light in the handpiece.
The Metcal CV-510 soldering system excels when used for surface mount device (SMD) touch-up and small component rework. Additionally, the CV-510 is embedded with innovative SmartHeat™ technology, which senses the thermal load and instantly delivers power on demand directly to the joint. This ensures soldering is performed in a fast, safe and repeatable process with no calibration required. The soldering station allows for an effortless user experience as it has a 2.8-inch colour touchscreen suitable for bold graphics, as well as an integrated net power meter with an optional tip temperature display.
The Metcal CV-510 is supplied with the CV-PS500 power supply and the CV-H1-AV standard solder hand piece. The CV-510 system is also compatible with five additional Metcal soldering handpieces and upgrade kits. With its optional extras and compatibility to such a diverse range of handpieces, CV-510 provides a complete soldering solution for a wide variety of applications.
Ellsworth Adhesives Europe is an official distributor of Metcal Soldering Systems and equipment.

Connect the Dots: Designing for Reality—Solder Mask and Legend
01/02/2025 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsIn the previous episode of I-Connect007’s On the Line with… podcast, we discussed the strip, etch, and strip process. At this point, we have a functioning board, but we still need to protect the PCB from environmental effects and document the circuit components. This brings us to the solder mask and legend phase of production.
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.
