IPC is a global trade association dedicated to the competitive excellence and fi nancial success of its member companies which represent all facets of the electronics interconnect industry, including design, printed circuit board manufacturing and electronics assembly.

With an increase in thickness of the iron layer we achieve a reduction in the thermal transfer behaviour at the same time. With an attempt to compensate this by increasing temperature the situation would be signifi cantly worsened.

The simple solution for pore reduction in soldering points In the course of production of increasingly more complex and efficient electronics, such as for example new hybrid components for the automotive sector, low-porosity solder points are required that cannot be produced with conventional reflow technology.

Solder paste must be stored in a refrigerator to best preserve important product characteristics. However, storage at low temperatures results in an inhomogeneous mixture of solder powder and flux, a condition that leads to poor rolling properties. Careful mixing is essential to recombine these components into a homogeneous mass and thus achieve optimal conditions for processing.

Beware of dirty circuit boards
When one thinks about printed circuit boards, also called PCBs or wiring boards, terms such as conducting tracks, computer chips, signal currents and of course soldering and solder joints may come to mind. Few know about the importance of cleaning in that regard. Some even fear that contact of circuits and with fluids is always dangerous, regardless of current flowing or not.
