Folks, An obvious disadvantage of lead-free assembly is that the oven must be hotter and therefore will use more electricity. But is the extra ...
Folks, It is hard to imagine, but it has been just a little short of 13 years ago that Jim Hall, Phil Zarrow and I approached SMTA’s JoAnn Strom...
Most SMT fluxes and solder pastes are either classified as RO or OR. Every once in a while one will see an occasional RE flux. People typically recogn...
I just can’t get enough of a good thing. My last post mentioned donuts – one of my favorite treats. Allow me to continue reveling in...
Folks, Let’s see how Patty is doing after teaching her first class at Ivy U… Patty arrived at home after teaching her first class at Ivy ...
The ball-attach process can be considered a trivial step when creating an FCBGA or similar package, but the final soldering step can be rather complex...
Over the last few years, miniaturization, and the drive for increased yields and lower defect rates, have forced the electronics manufacturing industr...
While in South East Asia last summer, Indium’s technical team and I had a chance to discuss flip-chip dipping processes with a major equipment v...
Folks, Pity the solder scientists of the late 1970s and early 1980s. SMT was an emerging technology and the world wanted to buy solder paste.&nb...
This year I had the pleasure of working with a circuit board company in Central New York called Standard Printed Circuits, Inc. From personal experien...
Folks, Some years ago, a leading IC manufacturer decided that their R&D effort could benefit if analyzed for possible improvement – by hirin...
