The overall concept of reflow soldering is simple: put a pre-assembled board with some solder paste into an oven and bake it until the solder properly melts. When a board is reflowed, it typically is ...

This paper will address the optimization of Pb Free soldering conditions, with a focus on differences between Sn/ Pb and Pb Free soldering. This allows assemblers to build on their extensive ...

The objective of this article is to explain the best techniques for soldering sensors manufactured by Merit Sensor using automated equipment. All profiles must be assessed and tested for best ...

Discrete electronic components such as resistors, capacitors and even larger IC's are shrinking down smaller every year, and that makes it harder for the average home maker or hobbyist to create their ...

Ditch that old toaster oven and move to the next level of surface mount soldering with this vapor phase reflow method. [Ing.Büro R.Tschaggelar] put together this apparatus to use vapor phase reflow at ...

This video describes Digicom’s solder reflow services. The advanced high-throughput convection reflow oven from Digicom produces customized time-temperature profiles for each board. A gold super-mold ...

This is somewhat Mac related, but I think it's more of a chip issue (esp on factory-assembled boards), so I figured I'd post here. Basically, I'm having repeated failures of an ATI 4850 graphics card ...
