We’re all used to temperature controlled soldering irons, and most of us will have one in some form or other as our soldering tool of choice. In many cases our irons will be microprocessor controlled, ...

A soldering iron should have a feel and a grip that makes it easy to hold in your hand, as if it were a large pen. For electronics, you want a slim, needle-like tip to aid in getting the heat (and ...

Winbond Electronics, a supplier of semiconductor memory solutions, has announced that its Flash Memory products will now support the low temperature soldering (LTS) process. This process reduces ...

In a conventional lead-free soldering process reflow ovens operate continuously at about 260°C. An effective alternative capable of operating at a lower temperature could significantly reduce the ...

One reason why commercial soldering stations are expensive is that, in general, they require the use of soldering irons with inbuilt temperature sensors, such as thermocouples. A soldering iron that’s ...

Tyco Electronics has introduced a line of surface-mount headers with 0.100-in. centerlines that can withstand up to 280°C soldering temperatures. Tyco Electronics has introduced a line of ...
