TopLine Corporation will exhibit in the 58th annual IEEE Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference (NSREC), which will have its first Virtual Conference and Exhibition beginning November 29 and accessible through December 30. Live virtual Exhibits will be accessible December 1-8.
Visitors to TopLine’s virtual booth will be able to chat with Martin Hart, CEO, as well as Jared, Steve and Teresa. Visitors may also enter the TopLine Raffle for a $100 Amazon Gift Card and attend TopLine’s December 4, 2:00-2:30pm EST Virtual Webinar titled “Solder Columns - Extending Operating Life For 20 Year Missions.” TopLine specializes in repairing and restoring valuable Column Grid Array (CGA) FPGA components to usable condition by replacing bent or damaged solder columns with fresh solder columns made in the USA. FPGA devices with solder columns are primarily used in space defense applications. TopLine also manufactures Pb80/Sn20 copper wrap solder columns as well as traditional Pb90/Sn10 columns. Columns and attachment tool kits are produced in the USA.
NSREC is the leading conference on radiation effects on integrated circuits and worldwide attendance is expected at 500. TopLine will exhibit Column Grid Arrays at NSREC. The conference will “go live” on-line from November 29 through December 8 with added opportunities for attendees to interact with speakers, exhibitors, and one another including TopLine personnel. The content will continue to be available online until December 30, 2020.

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.
