Let’s look in on Patty, it’s been awhile. Patty was looking forward to sleeping in. Normally she was up very early, sometimes before 5:30AM, after usually getting to bed too late, so she

Gold tin eutectic solder (AuSn20, or 80%gold, 20%tin by weight) isused in a varietyof applications requiring ahigh reliability, high melting solder joint. This includes die-attach and even lid-attach

Đây là bài thứ hai trong loạt bài đăng trên blog nói về Reinforced Solder Preforms cho độ tin cậy cao và ít bị rỗng. Bài đăng này sẽ tập trung vào sự tiến bộ công nghệ của InFORMS®

The corrosion test, also called the “copper mirror test,” differs from the copper coupon test because it qualitatively determines the corrosivity of the flux before reflow rather than

The copper coupon is a pretty simple test. A given amount of solder is reflowed onto a copper coupon with a specified amount of each flux. The test can be performed on either lead-free solder or

Remember back when I said that our Project 99super heroes “aren’t just for fun – they really work?” As I shared, their characteristics have been identified using a battery of

Icicles appear as stalactites hanging on the bottom of the circuit board during SMT wave

Most materials become brittle at very low temperatures, pure indium does not. It performs consistently at room and at extremely low temperatures. This property is why engineers across the world use

The Alchemist (WF-9955) applies her sophisticated understanding of wave soldering flux ingredients and their interactions with metallizations to defeat Oxide, while at the same time effectively

Electro-migration is another common challenge encountered in wave soldering and can be cause by a number of factors: Chloride or other ionic residue on the bare board and/or components Hygroscopic

Indium gaskets? You have probably heard of automotive head gaskets and plumbing gaskets and even gaskets used in sailing (that was a new one to me!). Buthave youheard of indium metal gaskets? The

Folks, If you think about it, to evaluate any process you typically want to know its precision and accuracy. Look at the dart players in the Figure 1 below. The yellow player has good precision, but

Now that we’ve met our Project 99 heroes, it is important to understand their counterparts…the common villains that can wreak havoc during your wave soldering process. Today, I’d

Created in the Indium Corporation R&D labs, four exciting wave soldering fluxes – known as Project 99 – are ready to solve your challenges and save the world! Project 99 is a fun way

Indium Corporation supplies both Indium Plating Anodes and an Indium Sulfamate Plating Bath Solution. These can be used with off-the-shelf plating equipment, or used in a home-made setup. (Eric

This post involves the purity of indium and all other metals and alloys. Some of my favorite topics to discuss are those which seem to ‘trip up’ readers who are learning something

Folks, Ismail writes, Dr. Ron, I know that the area ratio for circular and square stencil apertures is 4d/t. What is it for an elongated “D” aperture? Thanks, Ismail. The area ratio of a

Một chút thông tin cơ bản, RoHS là luật của Liên minh Châu Âu. Nó có nghĩa là hạn chế các chất nguy hiểm. Luật này hạn chế một số ít hóa chất trong thiết bị điện tử. Đáng chú ý nhất là đối với những người trong chúng ta

Phil Zarrow: This is part three of a three-part series. This video is for anyone interested in Design of Experiment aspect of Avoid the Void™. Brook, let's talk a little bit about the

Autonomy, combined with greater customer demand for connectivity and media capability with vehicles, has caused the number of electronics within the automobile to dramatically rise. Or, as some have
