SMT007 Magazine Explores Soldering Technologies—December 2024
December 2, 2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
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.
In the December 2024 issue of SMT007 Magazine, we explore some of the emerging soldering technologies: photonic, vacuum reflow and condensation soldering. And our columnists deep-dive into advanced packaging and international trade.
Learn more in this month’s issue of SMT007 Magazine.

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.
