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?

SHENMAO Develops Thermal Fatigue Resistant Solder Paste for High-Reliability Requirements
March 14, 2022 | SHENMAO America, Inc.Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
SHENMAO America, Inc. is pleased to introduce its PF918-P250 Thermal Fatigue Resistance Lead-free Solder Paste. The new paste is formulated with the new SHENMAO Sn/4Ag/3Bi Alloy, which is designed with high thermal impact reliability for long service life electronic products with high-reliability requirements.
The Halogen-free (ROL0) paste complies with RoHS, RoHS 2.0 and REACH, offering excellent voiding performance and good printability. PF918-P250 has a similar melting point to SAC305 so that the regular SAC305 reflow profile can be applied. With the innovative flux design, voiding easily can be controlled to less than 10 percent.
PF918-P250 can increase thermal reliability performance by a minimum of 30 percent. It provides better mechanical shock performance than typical solder alloys such as SAC305 and SAC405 and is suitable for use in consumer electronics, servers and automotive electronics applications.
SHENMAO has successfully been approved by many international well-known electronic manufacturers. The company strives to offer the best quality without compromising cost and time-to-market while providing maximum value to all customers. SHENMAO America, Inc. blends SMT solder paste at its facility in San Jose, CA for distribution in North America.

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
