FCI extends its reflow process-compatible D-Sub family of connectors by introducing a new right-angle version for Pin-In-Paste (through-hole) technology. This product line extension will allow ...

Access our Reader Service Web site to quickly find and request information on products and services found in the pages of Machine Design. Through-hole reflow (THR) is a recently developed method of ...

As the core technology used in modern electronics manufacturing, surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly density is increasing, the number of pins is increasing, and the pitch is decreasing. In ...

There’s no question that surface-mount technology has been a game-changer for PCB design. It means easier automated component placement and soldering, and it’s a big reason why electronics have gotten ...

Low-silver solder paste series supports SMT assembly with reduced material cost exposure while maintaining process compatibility. The system features ~0.1–1.1% Ag content compared to ~3.0% in SAC305, ...

One high-volume OEM proves that even simple feedback from an AOI system can reduce end-of-line defects by an order of magnitude. Until recently, the use of pre-reflow optical inspection usually was ...
