One of the best places to get back into the swing of trade shows is SMTA International (SMTAI), taking place Oct. 31–Nov. 4, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. The event is co-located with the four other shows that comprise the MD&M show.
Besides providing an expo floor showcasing what’s new in the market, SMTAI also delivers one of the strongest technical conferences in the electronics manufacturing space. In response, we’re devoting this issue of SMT007 Magazine to pre-show coverage of SMTA International. One of our goals with this issue is to give attendees and exhibitors a detailed guide to this event. In addition, if you, or perhaps your supervisor, need some convincing as to why you should attend SMTAI this year, then this issue will help you make your case.

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.
