Hand cutting is only one option for shaping NanoFoil®, however it is quick, easy, and inexpensive. All you need to cut NanoFoil® with this method is a good cutting surface, metal straight

Folks, In continuing our discussion on Weibull Analysis, let’s assume we assembled some SMT and through-hole PCBs with lead-free solder paste. On this board are also some bottom-side terminated

A few years back, Indium Corporation's own Eric Bastow set up a prototype NanoFoil® plating process to demonstrate the material and cost savings of setting up a small plating bath. One of the

One question that I often hear from customers is; “Once out of the refrigerator, how long do I have to wait to allow my solder paste and/or flux to reach room temperature in order to use

솔더 페이스트 '그레이프' 결함에 대해 들어본 적이 있지만, 작은 부품을 부착하는 데 사용되는 솔더 와셔 프리폼과 같은 다른 솔더 형태에서도 동일한 산화 문제가 발생합니다.

Tin-coated NanoFoil® is not one, but two very different products, combined. It is a heat source and a form of solder. In the world of interconnection, this is quite unique. (Shown in the picture

여러분, 피트가 웨이브 솔더 위기를 어떻게 처리하고 있는지 살펴봅시다. Pete는 프레드 캐슬과의 만남에서 긍정적인 결과가 나온 것에 놀랐다고 인정해야 했습니다. 그는 그날 패티에게 다음과 같은 문자를 보냈습니다.

NanoFoil® is described as “reactive multilayer foil”. It is comprised of many alternating layers of aluminum and nickel which are each only nanometers thick. These layers are waiting in close

Folks, It's been a while. Let's look in on Patty…… Patty stared, bleary eyed, at her laptop screen. It was the day after the election. She and Rob were following the election

꽤 간단한 일처럼 보입니다. 패드에 와이어를 납땜하는 것이 뭐가 어려울까요? 저는 세 가지 일반적인 불만과 불만의 표현을 들었습니다: 위치: 일반적으로

Lasers and fiber optic waveguides can be used to activate NanoFoil®. Why would you want to use a laser to do this? It lends itself to automation: Imagine a part moving into position, the laser

Folks, In the last posting, we saw how Weibull analysis helped us to determine that SACm® lead-free solder (SAC105 with about 0.1% manganese) has comparable (actually better) thermal cycle

Derivation of the Weibull Graph Folks, Last time we introduced Weibull analysis. Let's now derive the relationships needed to calculate the slope, beta, and characteristic life, eta. F(t) is the

Due to its softness and compressibility, indium is ideal for use in creating a seal. Let's get right into it: Indium preforms are commonly used to create seals. The preforms are made into an

Folks, The Weibull distribution is arguably the most important distribution in failure analysis of leaded and lead-free solder joints. It is the first thought of someone trying to model thermal

Folks, Everyday, we are exposed to the results of surveys and polls. A typical example might be that President Obama is leading Mitt Romney in a poll by 48% to 45%, but the results are not

Here is a picture of an Indium Corporation solder flux pen, sectioned to show you the internals. Who DOESN'T want to see THAT, right?!? Flux pens are commonly used to accurately supply small

Folks, Let’s see how Patty and Pete are making out on their latest adventure…. “Here is the ProfitPro™ output,” Dave Ferris said as he pointed to a PowerPoint slide on the

Calculating the exact amount of solder paste needed for a given circuit board or for a full production run can be difficult for several reasons, including: print deposit variations paste left on the

Folks, It has been a while, let’s look in on Patty…… Patty had to admit that she was very fortunate. She had yet to turn 30 and she was a Senior Vice President at ACME. There was

Folks, There is a lot of interest in cleaning PCBs that have been assembled with no-clean solder pastes. Recently I discussed the topic with my good friend Mike Bixenman of Kyzen. Dr. Ron (DR) Mike,
