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?

Nordson SELECT to Exhibit at SMTconnect 2019
April 24, 2019 | Nordson SELECTEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Nordson SELECT, a Nordson company, will exhibit an integrated selective soldering line together with smartTec GmbH in Hall 4, Booth 101 at the upcoming SMTconnect 2019 exhibition scheduled to take place May 7-9, 2019 at the Nuremberg Messe in Nuremberg, Germany.
The exhibit will include a Nordson SELECT Integra® 508.3PD 2seg selective soldering system integrated in-line with automatic load/un-load modules and a through-hole pick-and-place insertion module with the entire process equipped with RFID technology for continuous tracking.
The Integra 508.3PD 2seg selective soldering system features dual parallel in-line processing that allows the system to solder two printed circuit boards at the same time without the need for the boards to be in a panel or palletized enabling the machine to process two boards at the same time without requiring tooling. The Integra® 508.3 is available in three different variants to meet a broad range of selective soldering requirements. The Integra® 508.3S configuration with single fluxer and solder pot allows single board processing. The Integra® 508.3PD configuration with dual fluxers and solder pots can use two solder nozzles in the same soldering station or processing two boards in a panel simultaneously. The Integra® 508.3PD 2seg configuration with dual fluxers and solder pots can solder two singulated boards in a parallel mode in-line with the conveyor.
The Integra 508.3 features Nordson SELECT’s unique automatic solder nozzle tinning system. Unlike other nozzle cleaning systems, Nordson SELECT’s patent pending system does not spray an adipic acid or a liquid or powdered flux. Two types are available and both the flux core wire and flux gel systems do an exceptional job of keeping the solder nozzles clean by removing oxidation residues and re-tinning the nozzle surface without overspray or contamination. Advanced features available on the Integra® 508.3 include a full-automated fiducial alignment and board mapping function as well as a board warpage sensing system to ensure consistent production quality.
Also on display will be the Novo® 300, an entry lvel selective soldering platform with a compact footprint requiring less than 1.1 square meters of factory floor space. The Novo® 300 is a standalone platform that is ideally suited for prototype, cell manufacturing or small batch production.

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
