A reflow soldering profile for Pb-free soldering demands a higher melting point when compared to Pb-containing solders. The temperature differences on the board should be reduced because the process ...

There was a time when reflow soldering was an impossibly exotic process at our level, something that only the most superhuman of hackers could even dream of attempting.

Toaster Ovens have been used for years to reflow solder paste on DIY PCBs, but Reflowster aims at making the process easy, repeatable, and cheap!

Surface-mount V-chip aluminium electrolytic capacitors from ACAL Components are designed to withstand reflow soldering to +260°C. Manufactured by NIC Components, the six new families of liquid ...

In 2017, Intel and Lenovo announced low-temperature soldering (LTS), a new process suitable for surface-mount assembly that permits reflowing populated boards at 190°C (figure 1). This is ...

If you really want a soldering tutorial, the Pace one is an oldie but a goodie. We’ve also talked about soldering metallurgy before, if you want to learn more about it.

Intrusive reflow soldering is not a brand-new process, but what it did for the Raspberry Pi is notable, according to Thornton. The company saw "a massive 50% reduction in product returns," and it ...

Typically the solder will have to go through numerous heating and cooling cycles of the chip, expanding and contracting. While most BGA solder jobs are very reliable, some are just problematic.
