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 to Showcase Vapor Phase Soldering System at Amper
April 19, 2022 | Rehm Thermal SystemsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
For the first time after 2019, AMPER in Brno can now open its doors again. With well over 500 exhibitors, this trade fair for the Eastern European electronics industry continues to be an important meeting place for professionals from research and practice. registered for AMPER 2022. As an established manufacturer of reflow soldering systems, Rehm has continued to expand in recent years and also offers innovative solutions for convection and condensation soldering with and without vacuum as well as for conformal coating processes in the field of protective coating in this region.
AMPER in Brno, Czech Republic, has become one of the largest trade events for the electronics industry in Europe. Rehm Thermal Systems is exhibiting again this year and will be presenting a CondensoXC Vac for condensation soldering, among other things, there from May 17 to 20, 2022 in Hall F, Stand 2.15. This space-saving yet powerful batch system is the ideal choice especially for low throughput and is mostly used in laboratory applications, small batch production or prototyping. For optimal and virtually void-free soldering results, this system is available with a vacuum option.

With the closed-loop system for the injected medium Galden integrated in the vapor phase soldering systems of the Condenso series, Rehm has used a future-proof, sustainable solution right from the start. Due to the hermetic sealing of the process chamber (simultaneously vacuum chamber), the "evaporation loss" of the Galden during soldering is also excluded. In addition to minimal maintenance, operating costs are also reduced due to lower medium consumption.

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.
