Current IssueSoldering Technologies
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?

ALPHA Products to be Showcased by ERMEG at the Amper Show in the Czech Republic
February 29, 2016 | Alpha Assembly SolutionsEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Alpha Assembly Solutions, the world leader in the production of electronic soldering materials, will have its latest innovative products showcased by its Premium Distributor for the Czech and Slovak Republics, ERMEG Ltd, at the Amper show in Brno, Czech Republic on the 15th- 18th March 2016.
Alpha’s extensive range of electronics assembly solutions will be presented at the show including ALPHA SNCX Plus 07 no-silver, lead-free solder alloy. The product has been engineered to minimize copper dissolution as compared to silver-bearing alloys and improve total cost of ownership. SNCX Plus™ 07 solder alloy provides excellent production yields, superb solder ability due to the fast wetting speed and low dross generation. It can be used for across a wide range of soldering processes.
Furthermore Alpha will presents its latest cored wire and solder paste products including Telecore HF-850 cored solder wire and OM-535 solder paste. ALPHA Telecore HF-850 is the fastest wetting and lowest spattering, Halogen and Halide Free cored wire from Alpha’s cored wire range. Telecore HF-850 provides excellent first pass solder joints and is suitable for use in any electronic or industrial no-clean soldering application.
ALPHA OM-535 is a low temperature solder paste designed to enable a single reflow application for assembly of double sided boards. OM-535 version with SBX02 alloy has a melting point of below 140°C and provides excellent mechanical strength and drop shock resistance. The product enables the elimination of an extra wave or selective wave soldering process when temperature sensitive through-hole components are used, this can significantly lower the total cost of ownership.
Alpha Assembly Solutions have enjoyed a long partnership, with ERMEG Ltd distributing Alpha products across the Czech and Slovak Republics. In 2015, ERMEG Ltd became part of Alpha’s exclusive Premium Distributor Council.

Book Excerpt: The Printed Circuit Assembler’s Guide to... Low-Temperature Soldering, Vol. 2, Chapter 5
12/23/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamChapter 5 introduces the advantages of using low-temperature soldering for through-hole components, including cost efficiency, reliability improvement, and reduced warpage. Also covered: the evaluation of different fluxes and the performance of HRL3 in wave soldering and selective soldering processes.
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.
