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?

Goepel Free Webinar on Flexible Integration of AOI Systems into the THT Process is Available on Demand
May 25, 2016 | GOEPEL ElectronicEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The new GOEPEL webinar, “Individuality Desired? Flexible Integration of AOI Systems into the THT Process,” is now available on demand.
For any technologists who have assessed the diversity of components in use today, it is obvious: THT components are still present in significant numbers, despite the march toward miniaturization and increases in integration density.
What are we doing to guarantee assembly quality in production when utilizing these components? Usually, it is done through manual means, and often not well tested at all. Neither is acceptable under today’s quality demands. This fact appears more problematic, as THT components are still in use in sensitive areas, especially in the field of power electrics.
This 60-minute free webinar will answer questions about typical manufacturing problems and requirements for THT inclusive production processes and provide key insights regarding the structure of an inline AOI system for component and solder joint inspection of THT assemblies.
Learn about various integration options for the shortest quality loop and maximum effectiveness. Find out how inspection systems can be connected to company-internal MES and traceability systems, and which challenges and opportunities exist for AOI systems with respect to labeling of assemblies.
Learn about the possibilities for inline integration are offered by AOI systems for THT assemblies, how these systems adapt to the given production situation and what labeling of work pieces and assemblies is necessary for unambiguous assignment of errors and traceability.
To view this webinar now, visit Goepel’s “Individuality desired? Flexible Integration of AOI systems into the THT process” event page.

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.
Advancing Photonic Soldering
