Measuring the Soldering Temperature Profile
Measuring is Knowing. Guessing is Missing. Measure the temperature profiles and other variables of your reflowsoldering, wavesoldering, vapour-phase-soldering- and rework & repair processes. This can be accomplished quite easily with the Smart Profiler SuperM.O.L.E.® [...]
Solder mask
Solder mask, sometimes also referred to as solder stop mask or solder resist, is a thin layer of polymer that is usually applied to the copper traces of a printed circuit board (PCB). This [...]
Is selective soldering a good replacement for the wave solder machine?
Selective soldering has been on the rise in recent years. Sometimes the selective soldering system completely replaces the wave solder machine. Ersa-ECOSELECT-1 More and more we see that 80% or even more [...]
Wave and Reflow Soldering
Nowadays almost all electronic products are soldered fully automatically. This is possible with soldering machines such as: wave soldering machines, reflow ovens, selective soldering, pin-in-paste soldering, vapor phase soldering, laser soldering, soldering robots, etc. In [...]
IPC-A-600 versus IPC-6012
If we talk about bare board (or PCB) manufacturing 2 IPC documents are commonly used. The one that is best known throughout the electronics industry is the IPC-A-600. The A in the designation tells us [...]
QFP components
One of the Gull-Wing (*) style components are called QFP components. It is a component from the Gull-Wing family of SMD components, other Gull-Wing family styles are SOT, SOD and SOIC components. The specific property [...]
