No-clean solder pastes with low melting point
Heraeus Electronics showed its range of no-clean soldering pastes with a low melting point at productronica this week. The new F498 product series is said to allow significant cost savings in the soldering process.The soldering pastes are characterized by a low void rate and outstanding wetting properties on a wide range of different surfaces. This reduces the formation of solder balls (mid-chip balling).
Hybrid flux for wave and selective soldering
Emil Otto GmbH has introduced an alcohol-water-based flux which is also obtainable as a granulate-based concentrate.The hybrid EO-Y-004 flux was developed for use in wave and selective soldering and exhibits a solids content of 3.5% to 3.7%.That it has been developed for use in wave and selective soldering makes it suitable for a broad range of applications.

Optimizing benchtop cleaning
Removing contamination from printed circuit boards remains a huge reliability and warranty issue for PCB manufacturers according to Russell Claybrook, regional sales manager for MicroCare. Speaking at the Texas Cleaning and Reliability Workshops in Austin and Dallas he stated that process control remains a major deficiency in the cleaning of PCBs, whether it be on the benchtop or in an automated cleaning system.
The 411 on soldering electrical components
