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?

TRI to Feature New Test and Inspection Solutions at IPC APEX EXPO 2020
December 23, 2019 | Test Research Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Test Research, Inc. (TRI) will join IPC APEX EXPO 2020 held at San Diego Convention Center to showcase its Smart Factory inspection and test solutions for the printed circuit board electronics manufacturing industry. Visit TRI at booth #1151 on February 4 – February 6, 2020, to discover the newest innovations in 3D SPI, 3D AOI, 3D CT AXI, and multicore ICT.
TRI’s 2020 lineup features the industry’s leading 3D SPI TR7007QI, for accurate shadow-free solder inspection with digital fringe projectors and smart board warpage control.
TRI will exhibit the newly released High Accuracy Inspection with High Gauge R&R 3D AOI TR7700Q SII. Test Research, Inc. is introducing the new TR7600F3D SII 3D AXI with next-generation mechanical design for higher speed up to 10 FOV/s. Also being showcased is the TR7700QE-S 3D AOI, designed for the Semiconductor & Packaging Industry, with ultra-high resolution at 5.5 μm.
Test Research, Inc. will also showcase a demo of the newly developed AI-powered Smart Factory solution. TRI will additionally present the Shadow-free 3D SPI TR7007QI, the world-class high-speed 3D AXI TR7600 SIII for multiple industry applications and the Multi-core TR5001 SII LED INLINE ICT.
Visit us at IPC APEX EXPO 2020 booth #1151 for a personal demonstration of TRI's industry-leading world-class test and inspection solutions lineup.

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.
