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 ...

As the core technology used in modern electronics manufacturing, surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly density is increasing, the number of pins is increasing, and the pitch is decreasing. In ...

Nowadays, there are many interconnects in IC chips. One of the packaging goals is to connect an IC to the next level of subsystem circuitry (package substrates/print circuit boards). Mass reflow (MR) ...

In our previous issues in this series on making circuit boards, we covered placing solder paste and placing components. Now it’s time to bake our cake! There are a variety of methods for reflowing a ...

Tombstoning is a defect where a two-leaded, wrap-around lead-style termination chip component fails to lay down appropriately and allow solder to simultaneously make a required electrical/mechanical ...
