Solder joint faults can be described with a single word – pernicious. Solder joints connect the BGA package, containing an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) core, to the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) ...
So, you’re trying to get a handle on BGA flip chip tech? It’s one of those things that sounds complicated, but once you break it down, it’s not so bad. Basically, it’s a way to connect chips to ...
When you learn to solder, you are warned about the pitfalls of creating a solder joint. Too much solder, too little solder, cold joints, dry joints, failing to “wet” the joint properly, a plethora of ...
Intermittent problems with electronic modules or circuit boards are often the result of a cold-solder joint. Cold-solder joints are quite common in remote-keyless-entry fobs, electronic ...
When you learn to solder, you are warned about the pitfalls of creating a solder joint. Too much solder, too little solder, cold joints, dry joints, failing to “wet” the joint properly, a plethora of ...
The image of the electrical engineer or hacker bent over and using a soldering iron on a circuit board is a classic visual cliché on TV and movies (Figure 1). Figure 1 The electrical engineer working ...
A team of four materials undergraduates from Imperial College, London, will get the chance to perform their research in microgravity conditions after being selected to take part in the sixth Student ...
Environmentally friendly is a term rapidly invading the electronics industry. The electronic industry will be facing great challenges over the next few years as the solder used in electronic products ...
X-ray and advanced automated techniques combine to create a capable tool for lead-free solder inspection needs. Within two years, solder used in electronics manufactured or sold in Europe must meet ...
