Don’t Just Survive, Thrive
If we are to be relevant and prosper during these next critical decades in electronics, we must do more than survive. As an industry, we can and must thrive. In this issue, our contributors explore these concepts meant to help you take your business to the next level.
Material Matters
Materials management is nuanced, multifaceted, and requires a holistic systems approach for business success. When building high mix, low volume, and high technology, managing materials and overall cost containment are even greater challenges.

ITW EAE Releases Deep Wave Option for Electrovert Wave Soldering Machines
August 6, 2024 | ITW EAEEstimated reading time: 1 minute
ITW EAE has released a new innovative option for the Electrovert Wave Soldering machines that provides the ability to pump up to a 20 mm wave height.
The new Deep Wave option offered by Electrovert overcomes the challenges associated with deep pockets and masking and provides a wave depth necessary to achieve topside hole fill. In some applications the 20 mm capability has removed the need for an additional soldering process with a selective solder machine.
The Deep Wave option is a recipe-controlled parameter in the machine software that can make changes between different wave heights within 10 seconds. The Deep Wave option complements other Electrovert value added options including ExactaWave (automatic wave height adjustment), adjustable wave pump RPM’s settings, forced convection blower speed adjustments and precision selective fluxing that can all be adjusted on-the-fly. This high level of control and rapid change with the wave soldering process provides the greatest flexibility for a lot-size-of-one capability in high-mix soldering applications. The Deep Wave option along with other critical machine parameters, are data logged in the machine software and captured for MES information management applications.
We are excited about this newly released option,” said Greg Calvo, ITW EAE Wave Soldering Business Manager. “Electrovert’s Deep Wave solution to increasing wave height for increased capability provides many benefits to manufacturers that value production line throughput, maximum soldering performance quality, and flexibility in demanding production environments.”
The Deep Wave option is available with the UltraFill 4.0 and DwellMax 4.0 wave nozzle configurations and Auto-Exit Wing option. The Deep Wave option is offered in combination with Electrovert’s Short and Full Nitrogen tunnel options.

Beyond Design: Does Current Deliver the Energy in a Circuit?
07/25/2024 | Barry Olney -- Column: Beyond DesignIn circuit theory, we learn that current flows in a closed loop, returning to the source via a conductor pair. This flow of current provides power to the load, and energy transfer occurs as described by Ohm’s law (P = VI). Conversely, in electromagnetics theory, we discover that current does not provide the power in a circuit, but rather the energy wave is guided by the conductor to power the load, according to Maxwell’s equations.
