Deoxidation under vacuum with active process gases
The Nexus contact soldering system from Rehm Thermal Systems guarantees best results in reflow soldering processes using contact heat under vacuum. This enables the Nexus to meet the highest requirements in the field of advanced packaging and power electronics. The contact soldering system with a vacuum is also bespoke for void-free soldering of different components (e.g. IGBT) on DBC substrates.
Farnell signs XinaBox to bolster educational offering
Farnell has signed a global franchise with XinaBox to broaden its market leading range of educational devices and kits.
How to perfect your solder joint formation
Improving your solder joint formation is a skill that takes time, understanding and maybe a few errors along the way. In this month’s edition of Hakko Tech Tips, the company has explored solder joints in more detail. Topics for discussion will include using too much flux, how to test solder joints and reworking existing soldered joints.
Compact side-actuated tact switches for portable devices
C&K has added two new compact tact switches to its comprehensive PTS Series product offering. Suited for portable electronics in a wide range of markets, the new side-actuated PTS845 Series and PTS850 Series give designers more options to tailor end-products.
How to successfully avoid soldering nightmares
In recent editions of Hakko Tech Tips, the company has covered a number of issues to help streamline your soldering process, reduce costs and improve work-in-progress. Topics covered have ranged from how to maintain solder tips to combatting ESD, and much more in between.This edition of Hakko Tech Tips will examine what typically happens if solder joints aren’t sufficiently clean, take a look at solder bridges and solder balls, and expand o...
Giving better fire safety to the 5G revolution
Like 3G, 4G and the wireless standards that went before, 5G promises to bring us another leap in communication and connectivity - and this time a particularly huge one. Phones will be able to download whole 4k movies in seconds, and streaming becomes ultra-smooth.
Improve temperature sensor accuracy with custom packaging
Temperature sensors are one of the most widely applied measurement technologies. As technology advances and industrial processes become more complex, devices continue to require a higher level of accuracy in temperature sensing across multiple industries. TE Connectivity (TE) has been able to provide critical temperature sensing solutions for a variety of applications.
Simulation and modelling provides the key to shorter design cycles
Numerous circuit design and simulation tools are now available free of charge online, provided by component suppliers. When selecting passive components, which are pushed routinely to their absolute limits in demanding applications, specialised tools provide the extra information engineers need to ensure optimum performance and reliability.

Arduino Oplà IoT Kit makes building devices simple
Arduino has announced the launch of its new Oplà IoT Kit, the first open programmable IoT platform that allows anyone to build custom IoT devices, with full control over personal data. The entry-level kit comes complete with a set of eight self-assemble projects ready to show you how to easily turn everyday devices into ‘smart devices’.
High capacity switching solutions for automotive tech
When it comes to switching solutions, contemporary automotive application design resorts more and more to PCB mounted products. The primacy of miniaturisation and efficiency without compromises in terms of reliability and performance render THT or PiP mounted relays a perfect solution for multiple high current loads.
