BTU International's Fred Dimock will present the SMTA webtorial entitled, "Solder Reflow Fundamentals Understanding Thermal Profiles and Defect Mitigation." The webtorial is scheduled to take place April 26-28, 2016.
This class is an extension of "Solder Reflow Fundamentals – Understanding and Obtaining Profiles." It focuses on how the shape of reflow profiles affects various defects and what the SMT engineer/technician can do to eliminate them. During two 90-minute sessions, Dimock will discuss how the shape of reflow profiles affects various defects and what the SMT engineer/technician can do to eliminate them.
The course is designed for the SMT engineers/technicians that want a better understanding of the reflow process, identifies defects, and gives practical troubleshooting steps. This was a high rated workshop from SMTAI that you can attend right from your desk.
Dimock is the manager of process technology at BTU International in Massachusetts.
