Best Presents Webinar on Metal vs Plastic Printing of Solder Paste-A Comparison
February 15, 2016 | BEST Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
BEST Inc. announces the first in 2016 series of webinars entitled “Metal vs plastic film adhesive-backed stencils for rework-a performance comparison”. This will be held on Wednesday, March 9, 2016 from 12:00pm to 12:40pm CST (1PM EST/10AM PST).
The consistent printing of solder paste in a rework project is key to a high yield. This is especially true when the pitches are small (0.50mm or less) or the density of leads and neighboring devices are high. In this webinar, the types of methods for the printing of solder paste in rework will be reviewed. The results of a recent study comparing the stainless steel metal stencils to their flexible film counterparts will be revealed.
At the end of the prepared webinar, there will be an open Q/A session. Participants will get a copy of the PowerPoint slides and samples of flexible film stencils of their own design. Those not attending will not be sent the materials.
Alex Conley from BEST Inc. reported, “This is the first in a series of webinars for 2016 in which we want to layout some teaching materials that we typically do not talk about. Bob Wettermann, one of our instructors, will be giving this first talk".
Registration for this free event, with a limited number of web connections available, can be found here.

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.
