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?

Sasinno to Showcase Innovative Selective Soldering Solutions at productronica 2023
October 11, 2023 | Sasinno USAEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Sasinno USA is pleased to announce plans to exhibit in Hall A2, Stand 275 at productronica 2023, scheduled to take place Nov. 14-17 at Neue Messe München in Munich, Germany. The company is gearing up to showcase its cutting-edge MAS-i2 Selective Soldering Machine with Electro Magnetic Pump and Unit-i1 selective soldering system, highlighting its commitment to revolutionizing electronics manufacturing.
The MAS-i2 Selective Soldering Machine boasts a three-section conveyor system, efficiently handling fluxing, preheating and soldering stages. By optimizing the workflow, the MAS-i2 reduces downtime and enhances production efficiency, with one board in soldering, another in preheating, and a third in fluxing. The system can accommodate two fluxer valves, offering flexibility to choose identical or different valves. For instance, the use of two drop jet valves can effectively double production, or a combination of a drop jet valve and a micro-spray valve enables simultaneous application of two distinct fluxes.
The soldering capabilities of the MAS-i2 are equally impressive, featuring two individual solder pots in separate Z-axis assemblies. This enables soldering on PCBs up to W508 x L508mm (20" x 20") for two nozzles individually or W235 x L508mm (9.25" x 20") for two parallel nozzles. The system's unique flexibility extends to solder pump options, allowing users to employ one solder pump, two pumps simultaneously for accelerated speed, or a combination of different nozzle sizes and solder types without the hassle of changing components.
The Unit-i1 is the latest generation compact inline selective soldering machine. This multifunctional solution integrates a drop jet fluxer nozzle, bottom IR preheating, selective solder pot, and AOI function within a space-saving 55" footprint. The Unit-i1 serves as a comprehensive station for fluxing, preheating, soldering, and inspection. Its versatility shines whether used as a standalone unit or as part of a modular system. For high-volume production, boards can be loaded consecutively, and for varied production needs, each machine can work independently.
With a global reputation for "Smart and Steady Innovation," Sasinno has cultivated a robust worldwide distribution network supported by well-trained engineers.

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
