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?

Machine Vision Products Introduces Versa AOI/SPI Solution
February 3, 2020 | Machine Vision ProductsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Building on MVP’s 25 years’ experience of innovative Automated Optical Inspection the Versa system brings the latest 3D technologies to MVPs SMT and SPI offerings and is a significant advance in the flexibility of PCB assembly inspection.
Uniquely, MVP’s Versa system allows fast programming and the flexibility to fit into all the processes in the line: Paste Inspection, Pre-Reflow, Post-Reflow, Post-Wave and Selective Solder.
The Versa system, is the first introduction in a new series of MVP 3D AOI products distinguished by: high-performance defect detection, lowest over-rejection and a low cost of ownership. With the enhanced 3D capabilities, the Versa maintains MVP’s flagship process flexibility and scalability.
Cultivating on our expertise in defect detection for SMT and microelectronics inspection, MVP’s Versa allows for versatile program strategies in a single software toolset.
Using MVP’s ease-of-use ePro software guides you through the program generation process allowing for each inspection strategy to be developed quickly and automatically.
Import capabilities include Gerber, ODB++ and a variety of other formats. Combined with MVP’s leading-edge optimization tools for high performance and minimized over rejection, ease-of-use and rapid programming has been a paramount objective for our latest software suite.
Designed with future technology trends in mind, Versa’s 3D and optical capabilities provide high accuracy measurement capabilities for all current and future paste and SMT inspection. The Versa has multiple 3D options for even the most complex of inspection challenges
Using standard software and hardware across the Versa’s cross-process capability allows you to reduced support costs as you only need to provide support and training for a single platform vs. multiple different system. MVP’s leading reliability allows you to obtain the highest performance and uptime from your investments.
Visit MVP at IPC Apex 2020 at booth 1800 to see and have a demonstration of our latest SMT and Microelectronics Inspection Solutions.

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.
