SolderKing Enhances Brainboxes' Electronics Manufacturing with Expert Support and Advanced Materials
March 26, 2025 | SolderKingEstimated reading time: 1 minute
In modern electronics manufacturing, success relies on more than high-quality soldering materials. Technical knowledge and process expertise are just as crucial for achieving consistent results. SolderKing, a leading UK manufacturer, provides both, combining advanced consumables with specialist support to help manufacturers optimise their soldering processes.
By working closely with customers to refine soldering processes, fine-tuning reflow oven settings, optimising process parameters, and supplying high-performance consumables, SolderKing helps manufacturers achieve peak efficiency and reliability. This expertise recently benefited Brainboxes, a globally recognised developer and manufacturer of communication devices, by further enhancing their reflow process, through tailored technical support and material recommendations.
Chris Ward, Chief Operating Officer at SolderKing, said: “To ensure soldering success, it’s essential to optimise not only the materials used but also the entire production process. We work closely with customers to analyse reflow oven profiles, assess thermal dynamics, and adjust key parameters such as conveyor speeds and heating rates. In the case of Brainboxes, we applied our technical expertise to further enhance their reflow process. This level of precision ensures that every solder joint meets the highest standards, and manufacturers can continue to rely on both superior materials and process stability for efficient, high-quality production.”
Omar Abdullah, Production Manager at Brainboxes said: “One of the standout features of SolderKing is their commitment to customer support. They went above and beyond to assist by providing expert support and ensuring that the reflow oven optimisations were perfectly tailored to meet our specific needs.
“Their willingness to go above and beyond in providing ongoing support, whether through troubleshooting, product improvements, or offering technical advice, ensures that clients feel confident in the long-term reliability of their services. They not only deliver a high-quality product, but they also ensure it continues to perform well and meets evolving needs.”
As electronic assemblies become more complex, manufacturers increasingly rely on both advanced materials and expert support to maintain high standards. SolderKing continues to invest in research, development, and customer-focused solutions to ensure its products and expertise keep pace with industry demands.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.

The Evolution of Picosecond Laser Drilling
06/19/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIs it hard to imagine a single laser pulse reduced not only from nanoseconds to picoseconds in its pulse duration, but even to femtoseconds? Well, buckle up because it seems we are there. In this interview, Dr. Stefan Rung, technical director of laser machines at Schmoll Maschinen GmbH, traces the technology trajectory of the laser drill from the CO2 laser to cutting-edge picosecond and hybrid laser drilling systems, highlighting the benefits and limitations of each method, and demonstrating how laser innovations are shaping the future of PCB fabrication.

Beyond Design: The Metamorphosis of the PCB Router
06/18/2025 | Barry Olney -- Column: Beyond DesignThe traditional PCB design process is often time-consuming and labor-intensive. Routing a complex PCB layout can consume up to 30% of a designer’s time, and addressing this issue is not straightforward. We have all encountered this scenario: You spend hours setting the constraints and finally hit the Go button, only to be surprised by the lack of visual appeal and the obvious flaws in the result.
