X-ray and advanced automated techniques combine to create a capable tool for lead-free solder inspection needs. Within two years, solder used in electronics manufactured or sold in Europe must meet ...

Technological advancement, especially in electronics, has changed mankind’s culture. Obsession with technology, mainly in developed countries, is dictating the rapid increase of electronic waste ...

This paper will address the optimization of Pb Free soldering conditions, with a focus on differences between Sn/ Pb and Pb Free soldering. This allows assemblers to build on their extensive ...

The two leading candidates for a lead-free solder are tin-silver-copper (SnAgCu) and tin-copper (SnCu). However, both these alloys have melt temperatures considerably higher than tin-lead (SnPb). The ...

In a conventional lead-free soldering process reflow ovens operate continuously at about 260°C. An effective alternative capable of operating at a lower temperature could significantly reduce the ...
