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?

BTU to Highlight Reflow Technology at the SMTA Capital Expo
May 19, 2023 | BTU International, Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
BTU International, Inc., a leading supplier of advanced thermal processing equipment for the electronics manufacturing market, will exhibit at the SMTA Capital Expo & Tech Forum, scheduled to take place Tuesday, May 23, 2023 at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory Kossiakoff Center. Attendees can learn all about BTU’s reflow ovens, Profile Tracer and the all-new Aurora platform.
“2023 has already been a big year for product development at BTU,” said Bob Bouchard, director of sales and marketing for BTU. “Earlier this year we launched the Profile Tracer and we have just returned from the launch of our new reflow platform, the Aurora, in Germany. I’m looking forward to bringing our customers up to date at the SMTA Expo.”
BTU will feature its new, award-winning Profile Tracer, a next-generation thermal profiling tool providing real-time data acquisition for oven optimization by identifying inconsistencies due to temperature variation at both the product level and at the heat source.
With 6, 8, 10, and 12 zone air or nitrogen models, flexible platform configuration and low nitrogen and power consumption, the PYRAMAX family of convection reflow ovens the industry’s best value. The BTU team also will discuss its newest development – the Aurora platform. Using the combination of newly integrated process control technologies and innovative Wincon 8 reflow oven control software, Aurora provides the ultimate in thermal process performance.

Connect the Dots: Designing for Reality: Strip-Etch-Strip
12/05/2024 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsIn the previous episode of I-Connect007’s On the Line with… podcast, we focused on pattern plating. At this point, we are close to completing our boards and ready for the strip-etch-strip (SES) process. By this stage of the manufacturing process, we have laminated all the internal layers together, drilled the through-holes, applied the image to the external layers through photoresist, plated the copper in those channels to beef up the copper thickness for traces, pads, and through-holes, added a layer of electrolytic tin over the top of that copper to protect it during subsequent stages of production.
