Assembling with a stencil is just that much more convenient – it’s a huge timesaver, and your components no longer need to be individually touched with a soldering iron for as many times as they have ...

If you do a lot of SMD soldering, a reflow oven is the fastest and most efficient way to get all those tiny components attached to your PCB. [Frank Zhao] saw the reflow ovens we featured here over the ...

Electronic enthusiasts searching for a new compact open source Smart PCB reflow machine may be interested in a new device created by the team at MagicBox, called the REFLO Air. Watch the demonstration ...

Use left and right arrow keys to seek audio. 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 ...

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 ...

FCI extends its reflow process-compatible D-Sub family of connectors by introducing a new right-angle version for Pin-In-Paste (through-hole) technology. This product line extension will allow ...
