SMT Assembly of LGA Components and SMT Rework with Low Temperature Solder Alloy

Low Temperature Solder (LTS) is increasingly being used as a replacement for SAC305 solder alloy. Processing with LTS can reduce energy costs and impact on the environment while also reducin .. read more

D-PAK Voiding: A Study to Determine the Origins of D-PAK Voiding

Voiding in bottom termination components (BTCs) like QFNs and LGAs have become quote the hot topic in the SMT industry. Surprisingly,one type of BTC component that is observed to have excess .. read more

Voids in SMT Solder Joints - Myths Revisited

Since the introduction of lead-free soldering technology,voids in solder joints have been a topic of intensive investigations and discussions. One issue of detailed investigations is the format .. read more

Fill the Void II: An Investigation into Methods of Reducing Voiding

Voids in solder joints plague many electronics manufacturers. Do you have voids in your life? We have good news for you,there are many excellent ways to “Fill the Void.” This paper is a continu .. read more

Assessing the Effectiveness of I/O Stencil Aperture Modifications on BTC Void Reduction

Bottom terminated components,or BTCs,have been rapidly incorporated into PCB designs because of their low cost,small footprint and overall reliability. The combination of leadless terminations .. read more

Void Reduction in Bottom Terminated Components Using Vacuum Assisted Reflow

Pockets of gas,or voids,trapped in the solder interface between discrete power management devices and circuit assemblies are,unfortunately,excellent insulators,or barriers to thermal conductivi .. read more

Void Reduction in Reflow Soldering Processes by Sweep Stimulation of PCB Substrate

Due to the ongoing trend towards miniaturization of power components,the need for increased thermal conductivity of solder joints in SMT processes gains more and more importance. Therefore,the .. read more
