Effect of Contact Time on Lead-Free Wave Soldering

The increasing use of lead-free solder has introduced a new set of process parameters when setting up wave solder equipment for effective soldering. Determining the proper flow characteristics .. read more

Improving Joint Quality with Nitrogen

Nitrogen inerting has been widely reported to reduce defects in lead-free reflow soldering. However,many solder pastes available claim that they either do not need nitrogen or work equally well .. read more

Single Ball Reballing and Repair of BGA Components

The trend of increasing complication in the rework arena continues. Sources of today’s rework challenges include the development of smaller and smaller components and the continued difficulty o .. read more

Lead-Free Soldering: DOE Study to Understand its Affect on Electronic Assembly Defluxing

Lead-free alloys under consideration have physical properties,which may directly impact industry standard electronic assembly cleaning processes. The purpose of this study is to evaluate how th .. read more

Board Finish Solderability with Sn-Ag-Cu

Lead-free soldering technology is still in its infancy with technical and cost issues posing major challenges for the industry. It is expected that soldering in a nitrogen atmosphere might over .. read more

Testing and Analysis of Surface Mounted Lead Free Soldering Materials and Processes

The Massachusetts Toxics Use Reduction Institute (TURI) has sponsored a consortium of Massachusetts based corporations to investigate lead-free (Pb-free) surface mount soldering technology. The .. read more
