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?

Rehm Invests in Seven New Apprentices for Various Roles
September 30, 2020 | Rehm Thermal SystemsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The beginning of September signalled a new phase in the lives of many junior staff — the start of their apprenticeships. Seven young people have started their apprenticeships in various professions at Rehm Thermal Systems in Blaubeuren-Seißen. Two prospective industrial clerks, three mechatronics engineers, one IT specialist in the field of application development and one specialist in warehouse logistics. Even during the Covid-19 pandemic, Rehm Thermal Systems is relying on qualified, committed and motivated junior staff.
In addition to all of the technical elements, the training focuses on things like independence, creativity and teamwork. This gives apprentices the opportunity right from the start to take on responsibility and carry out small projects. For prospective mechatronics engineers, for example, a separate area has been created in which they can design and implement their own small systems.
“We are pleased to welcome our new junior staff and will do our best to provide them with instructive, varied and above all future-oriented training”, says Manuela Sebabi, training manager at Rehm Thermal Systems for commercial apprentices. “It’s always exciting to support the apprentices through their training and, in these first few years of their careers, to share all of the experience, expertise and knowledge that we as a company have realised on a daily basis for the last 30 years."
A well-founded apprenticeship and the promotion of young, committed individuals has been firmly anchored in the corporate philosophy of Rehm Thermal Systems for many years. With the new trainees, the Rehm Group now employs a total of more than 25 trainees at Rehm Thermal Systems and Rehm BlechTec in seven different professions and two dual study programmes.
The application phase for the 2021 training year has already begun. Further information can be found at www.rehm-group.com.

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.
