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?

KYZEN to Focus on Chemistry and Process Control at SMTA Oregon
May 15, 2023 | KyzenEstimated reading time: 1 minute
KYZEN, the global leader in innovative environmentally friendly cleaning chemistries, will exhibit at the SMTA Oregon Expo & Tech Forum, scheduled to take place Thursday, June 8, 2023 in Wilsonville, Oregon. The KYZEN team will spotlight the KYZEN Process Control System (PCS), the world’s first and only concentration monitoring and control system, in addition to the award-winning aqueous solutions AQUANOX A4625 and AQUANOX A4626.
The KYZEN PCS controls, monitors, and automatically reacts to the dynamic changes in the wash bath concentration. Since its introduction more than 20 years ago, the capabilities of the KYZEN PCS have continued to improve and advance in the mission of maximizing high-quality output from inline cleaning systems.
AQUANOX A4625 is a highly effective, dispersive cleaning agent with excellent material compatibility designed to clean electronic assemblies in spray-in-air cleaning equipment. It excels in low concentrations and temperatures with proven effectiveness on more than 90% of solder pastes currently in production with additional use in cleaning lead-free and no-clean flux types.
The environmentally-friendly AQUANOX A4626 is reliable with a long tank life and is designed to efficiently remove the latest polymeric no-clean flux residues. The multi-pass, application-safe aqueous spray also delivers excellent results on traditional lead-free and eutectic tin lead residues.
For over 30 years, KYZEN has been developing innovative chemistries that go hand-in-hand with your cleaning process. The KYZEN PCS and solutions such as AQUANOX A4626 combine to create a worry-free process that just makes sense.

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.
