[Andy Brown] is a prolific hacker and ends up building a lot of hardware. About a year back, he built a reflow oven controller. The board he designed used a large number of surface mount parts. This ...

The solders used in the Electronic Industry are rapidly changing from Tin/Lead (Sn/Pb) solders to Lead-Free (Pb-Free) solders to meet new environmental and Green requirements. Many of these ...

Mini-Circuits has developed products having a lead-less LTCC (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic) substrate that serves as the base of the unit. Examples of such products are the SBTC series of power ...

This video describes Digicom’s solder reflow services. The advanced high-throughput convection reflow oven from Digicom produces customized time-temperature profiles for each board. A gold super-mold ...

Discrete electronic components such as resistors, capacitors and even larger IC's are shrinking down smaller every year, and that makes it harder for the average home maker or hobbyist to create their ...

[Sebastian] needed a small solder oven so he bought himself a small toaster oven (Spanish, Google Translate). It’s not the kind of thing we’d make our breakfast in now, but for soldering it’s a very ...

Modding today's hardware often means moving or removing tiny surface mount components, and using a standard soldering iron feels about as effective as using a hammer to kill a fly. If buying an ...

BTU International has been recognised with a 2025 Mexico Technology Award in the category of 'Soldering Equipment - Reflow'.

NIC Components' NACZ series of surface-mount electrolytic capacitors can now be exposed to a maximum soldering temperature of +255°C. The new temperature rating makes these devices more compatible ...
