Study investigates use and limitations of machine placed solder preforms during the top-side SMT reflow process for PTH components. Program: Production Floor
We have a problem with components rising while going through wave soldering. We prefer to avoid lead clinching. What do you suggest? Program: Ask the Experts
Is a toe fillet required on gull wing components? We have some gull wing components that have no toe fillet, but all the other requirements for the solder connection are met. Program: Ask the Experts
Industry expert Bob Willis uses the NPL Defect Database to explore techniques to reduce the possibility of circuit board bow and twist. Program: Production Floor
After wave soldering we are finding solder dross particles sticking to the printed circuit board surface. We cleaned the dross from the solder bath and yet have the same problem. Do we likely have a contamination problem with the solder bath? Program: Board Talk
We are conducting rework that includes soldering a wire to one end of a heat sensitive multilayer ceramic chip capacitor (MLCC). We need to solder the wire to one end of a ceramic chip cap while the other end is soldered to a PCB land. Program: Ask the Experts
Paper describes the evaluation process of selecting technology for selective soldering and which platform will best fit for the product application. Program: Production Floor
This paper examines the nature; the consequences and the mitigation of electrical overstress caused by electromagnetic interference, or electrical noise, on power lines and ground in the manufacturing environment. Program: Analysis Lab
This paper presents a new generation N2 inerting system for wave soldering to make the technology more cost effective and user friendly. Program: Production Floor
