The SMT guide covers: solder paste application; component placement; reflow soldering; automated optical inspection (AOI) and X-ray inspection, and maintenance. It also suggests that to enhance the ...

Scientists from the Université de Sherbrooke in Canada have fabricated a prototype of a concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) module based on the so-called surface-mount technology (SMT) – a technique that ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Isolators and circulators are vital to modern communication systems. They play an important role in guiding signals ...

Soldering is an essential technique used to join electronic components, metal sheets, and pipes. By using a heated soldering iron and solder paste, the two pieces being joined are bonded together.

Abstract: This paper describes mounting of standard surface mount component packages on a paper substrate using an industrial solder process with a low-temperature solder. The use of paper as a ...

ABSTRACT: In this investigation, the influence of a thin gold (Au) layer on the growth behavior of the intermetallic compound (IMC) in a Nickel-Tin-Solder (NiSn-Solder) was studied. The reaction ...

What automated soldering methods can be considered for Mini-Circuits surface-mount components? There are two basic methods: reflow and wave soldering. Generally, reflow soldering can be done when (l) ...

This application note provides guidelines for board mounting of surface mount semiconductor packages. Nowadays, reflow soldering is a widely spread technology for soldering of surface mount ...

Tyco Electronics has introduced a line of surface-mount headers with 0.100-in. centerlines that can withstand up to 280°C soldering temperatures. Tyco Electronics has introduced a line of ...
