ACE Unveils New Lead Tinning System with JEDEC Tray-to-Tray Handling
March 21, 2016 | ACE Production Technologies Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
ACE Production Technologies, Inc., a leading supplier of selective soldering systems, lead tinning systems and lead tinning services, is pleased to announce the release of its new LTS300-JEDEC tray-to-tray lead tinning system.
The ACE LTS300-JEDEC is the most technologically advanced molten solder lead tinning system on the market consisting of two dynamic nitrogen inerted solder pots, a dynamic flat wave fluxing station, forced convection preheating, aqueous wash and drying stations, plus a JEDEC tray stacker forming a complete work cell.
At the heart of the new LTS300-JEDEC is a fully integrated vision system consisting of top and bottom viewing cameras for accurate alignment of electronic components prior to re-tinning to ensure complete control over fine-pitch components during immersion and extraction of the hot solder dip process. The vision system also performs post-tinning inspection to detect potential solder bridges before placing components back into a JEDEC tray. The LTS300-JEDEC is a fully-configured system capable of performing a molten solder component lead tinning process for gold removal and re-tinning of components for Class 2 and Class 3 applications in compliance with the new J-STD-001, Rev F requirements.
The dual solder pot machine architecture of the LTS300-JEDEC allows for component re-tinning in accordance with GEIA-STD-0006 requirements to enhance component solderability. The LTS300-JEDEC is capable of re-tinning leaded fine-pitch components such as QFPs as small as 6mm x 6mm or as large as 50mm x 50mm with a lead pitch down to 0.012” with bridge free results. In addition, bottom terminated components such as QFNs and DFNs as small as 3mm x 3mm and with a lead pitch down to 0.5mm can be re-tinned all the while maintaining world-class coplanarity within 0.003” for these leadless devices.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Gold Mitigation for Class 2 Electronics
05/07/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileIn electronic assemblies, the integrity of connections between components is paramount for ensuring reliability and performance. Gold embrittlement and dissolution are two critical phenomena that can compromise this integrity. Gold embrittlement occurs when gold diffuses into solder joints or alloys, resulting in mechanical brittleness and an increased susceptibility to cracking. Conversely, gold dissolution involves the melting away of gold into solder or metal matrices, potentially altering the electrical and mechanical properties of the joint.
