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?

Advanced Inspection Systems from MIRTEC at SMTA Guadalajara
September 23, 2019 | MirtecEstimated reading time: 1 minute
MIRTEC will exhibit at the SMTA Guadalajara Expo & Tech Forum, scheduled to take place October 23–24, 2019 at the Expo Guadalajara. The MIRTEC team will showcase the all new MV-6 OMNI 3D AOI Machine and award-winning MS-11e 3D SPI Machine.
The MV-6 OMNI combines MIRTEC's exclusive 15 Mega Pixel CoaXPress camera technology with their proprietary OMNI-VISION 3D Digital Tri-Frequency Moiré technology to provide precision inspection of SMT devices on finished PCB assemblies. MIRTEC’s exclusive 15 Mega Pixel CoaXPress camera system is designed and manufactured by MIRTEC for use with its complete product range of inspection equipment.
MIRTEC's proprietary Digital Tri-Frequency Moiré Technology, provides superior 3D inspection of SMT and through-hole devices up to 25 mm tall. This industry-acclaimed technology yields precise height measurement data used to detect lifted component and lifted lead defects as well as solder volume post reflow. Fully configured the new MIRTEC MV-6 OMNI machines feature four (4) 10 Mega Pixel Side-View cameras in addition to the 15 Mega Pixel Top-Down camera. There is little doubt that this new technology has set the standard by which all other inspection equipment are measured.
MIRTEC’s award-winning MS-11e 3D SPI Machine is configured with an exclusive 15 Mega Pixel CoaXPress camera system, providing enhanced image quality, superior accuracy and incredibly fast inspection rates.
The MS-11e uses dual -projection shadow-free Moiré phase shift imaging technology to inspect solder paste depositions on PCBs post screen print for insufficient solder, excessive solder, shape deformity, shift of deposition and bridging. The MS-11e uses the same robust platform as MIRTEC's MV-6 OMNI Series.
MIRTEC's total quality management system software, INTELLISYS also will be on display at SMTA International. This software suite promotes continuous process improvement by allowing manufacturers to track and eliminate defects on inspected assemblies.

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.
