Preventing plating and soldering voids is about testing new manufacturing processes and analyzing the results. Plating and soldering voids usually have an identifiable cause, such as the type of ...

The quality of the soldering has a tremendous impact on the overall quality of the PCB. Through soldering, different parts of the PCB are connected to other electrical components to make a PCB ...

When everything used wires, it was easy to splice them or replace them. Not so much with PC boards, but everyone has their favorite method for repairing a broken trace. [Mr. SolderFix] has his five ...

Solder joint faults can be described with a single word – pernicious. Solder joints connect the BGA package, containing an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) core, to the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) ...

The main highlight will be the brand-new ISO-Spector X1 3D THT Bottom-Up AOI system, which combines advanced 3D optics and projection technology with its renowned inspection algorithms to measure ...

Remember when PCBs were green and square? That’s the easy default, but most will agree that when you’re going to show off your boards instead of hiding them in a case, it’s worth extra effort to make ...

While LED/DMD systems requiere 400 to 1,000 mJ/cm2 Linata´s »LUVIR« delivers the same imaging results at lower UV-laser energy levels of just 100 to 250 mJ/cm2 ...
