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?

StenTech Launches Online Order Management System for Ordering Stencils
November 28, 2022 | StenTechEstimated reading time: 1 minute
StenTech Inc., the leading provider of stencils to the electronics manufacturing industry in North America, is pleased to offer customers the ability to easily place stencil orders online with its new Online Order Management System. Customers can setup credentials to place online orders here.
By enabling customers to order stencils online, StenTech’s goal is to make the stencil purchasing process that much easier. Customers can login to order high quality stencils at their convenience 24/7.
“We're all extremely excited to announce the launch of our Online Order Management System,” stated Greg Starrett, Director of Sales. “It is extremely easy-to-use and besides being able to place your stencil order, you can upload your Gerbers, view the complete order history, track job status, view open invoices, etc. All the orders placed through our online system will be prioritized and processed in a timely manner. The online ordering is safe and secure. You will receive an on-screen confirmation upon the submission of your order.”
Additionally, a training video is available to guide customers on “How to use the online ordering system”.
The company offers a complete array of stencil technology, custom-tailored to suit its customers manufacturing requirements. They manufacture all types of stencils for the SMT industry, from Laser Cut SMT Stencils, Nickel Laser Cut Stencils (SNL) and Electroform SMT Stencils, to High-Definition Print Stencils (HDP) and more.
StenTech has manufactured more than half a million stencils and offers a wealth of design and manufacture expertise. Its CAD experts combine industry designs and modification rules, honed by customer feedback and experimental development, with customer-specific design requirements and preferences to produce stencils that are right the first time. And, StenTech’s own StenCAD software, allows the team to accurately predict the transfer efficiency of paste/stencil aperture combinations and apply design rules to the stencil in order to optimize paste deposit repeatability – so essential when dealing with fine features and micro-scale devices.
StenTech offers a wealth of knowledge and technical expertise in designing stencils, wave solder pallets and SMT carriers. In addition, StenTech manufactures press-fit fixtures, vacuum support fixtures, hand soldering fixtures and router fixtures, as well as in-circuit test fixtures and functional test fixtures.

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
