It’s no secret that we’re bizarrely drawn to macro videos showing solder paste during the reflow process. This electric skillet reflow guide provides the fix we’ve been jonesin’ for while including ...

There are a ton of ways to go about building your own reflow oven. Most of these builds start with, well, an oven — usually a toaster oven — with a small but significant minority choosing to modify a ...

Use left and right arrow keys to seek audio. Discrete electronic components such as resistors, capacitors and even larger IC's are shrinking down smaller every year, and that makes it harder for the ...

Access our Reader Service Web site to quickly find and request information on products and services found in the pages of Machine Design. Through-hole reflow (THR) is a recently developed method of ...

The overall concept of reflow soldering is simple: put a pre-assembled board with some solder paste into an oven and bake it until the solder properly melts. When a board is reflowed, it typically is ...

FCI extends its reflow process-compatible D-Sub family of connectors by introducing a new right-angle version for Pin-In-Paste (through-hole) technology. This product line extension will allow ...

A new technical paper titled “A color-coded light-induced heating technology for Pb-free solder joints of advanced multi-semiconductor packaging” was published by researchers at Sungkyunkwan ...

This paper describes the losses from defects at the placement process in the SMT line. Two case studies of European and Taiwanese SMT manufacturers illustrate the actual losses from their defects. An ...
