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?

Rehm Expands Worldwide Sales Network
July 14, 2016 | Rehm Thermal SystemsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Carsten Kramer, Global Solar Director and Director for Southeast Asia
Kramer has been a new point of contact at Rehm photovoltaics since 1 April 2016. He is responsible for coordinating the worldwide sales activities for solar equipment and strategic development, in direct consultation with management. In addition, as Director for Southeast Asia, he will be managing the markets of Southeast Asia, India and Korea.
"I'm primarily focused on the expansion of the distribution structure, supporting it, on-site customer support and strengthening our position in the region," stresses Kramer. "With Rehm, I have joined an up-and-coming company with an exceptional reputation in the market."
He has worked in the industry for almost eight years as a managing director, among others, for thermal systems and solar products as well as the previous ten years in various positions at well-known companies in the automotive industry.
Dr. Klaus Brodt, Sales for Reflow Condensation Soldering Systems and Special Systems
Dr. Brodt joined the Rehm team on 1 June 2016 for the worldwide sales of CondensoX reflow condensation soldering systems and special systems for drying and tempering. After having successfully completed his doctorate as a physicist (specializing in heat transfer), he has gained extensive experience in the sale and further development of soldering systems, especially in the fields of reflow, vapor phase soldering and solder wave.
"It has always been of great importance to me to understand specific requirements in dialogue with the customer, in order to jointly configure a machine that perfectly meets expectations. At Rehm – a renowned company for forward-looking system technologies – we will further expand the condensation soldering sector and drive the market forward," says Dr. Brodt.

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
12/11/2024 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 MagazineStan Farnsworth, director of customer satisfaction at PulseForge, discusses the advancements in photonic soldering that highlight its energy efficiency and versatility. Over the past two years, the company has refined its applications for flexible substrates and energy reduction, finding that photonic soldering allows the processing of materials that typically aren’t thermally compatible and offers significant energy savings compared to traditional methods.
