Employing advanced furnace profiling and soldering techniques with a variety of solder materials, a soldering process from packaging manufacturer Thunderline-Z (Hampstead, NH) promises to speed ...

Finnish scientists have tested a new eddy current-based soldering method for ribbon tabbing in solar cells and have found it considerably reduces the number of cracks and damages caused by ...

Getting the hang of through-hole soldering is tricky for those of us tinkering at home with our irons, spools, flux, and, sometimes, braids. It’s almost reassuring, then, to learn that through-hole ...

A vacuum can be used to achieve real advantages in the soldering process. We needed to take a closer look at the soldering process with vacuum profiles, so an evaluation project was performed. As a ...

In a conventional lead-free soldering process reflow ovens operate continuously at about 260°C. An effective alternative capable of operating at a lower temperature could significantly reduce the ...

The complexities associated with the use of solders in electronic products. What’s the alternative to solder? A long-standing adage observes that “if the only tool in your tool chest is a hammer, the ...

Often it feels as if soldering is deemed to be more of an art form than something that’s underpinned by the cold, hard reality of physics and chemistry. From organic chemistry with rosin, to the ...

A group of researchers from the Korea Electronics Technology Institute (KETI) has investigated how commercially available solder fluxes can corrode indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes in heterojunction ...

(Nanowerk News) Not every wound can be closed with needle and thread. Empa researchers have now developed a soldering process with nanoparticles that gently fuses tissue. The soldering technique is ...
