Small-batch SMT chip processing often faces the challenge of high costs due to low order volumes and high production ...

Solderstar will exhibit its Reflow Shuttle O₂, designed for nitrogen-assisted reflow soldering processes innovations at SMTA.

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 ...

Littelfuse announced the expansion of its K5V Series illuminated Tactile Switch family with the release of new K5V4 models.

Littelfuse, Inc. has expanded its K5V Series illuminated tactile switch line with the release of the K5V4 models, available ...

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 ...

This is exactly what it looks like. [Oleg] calls it soldering in inert atmosphere, but it’s just a toaster oven reflow hack dropped into a container full of carbon dioxide. Why go to this trouble?

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 ...

Still looking for a good way to reflow solder at home? Look no further! [Don] has a very handy and inexpensive solution that looks great. It makes use of a cheap hot plate, a solid state relay, an IR ...
