Improves wetting: Flux helps molten solder flow smoothly (or “wet”) across the surfaces, promoting even coverage and a strong ...

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 ...

Use of surface-mount technology (SMT) in consumer products offers a major competitive advantage—they enable significant design miniaturization. Surface-mount devices (SMD) come in a variety of ...

This application note provides an in-depth discussion of the soldering process and how it relates to leaded LED lamps and display components, with the objective of serving as a guide to achieving high ...

Soldering is the process of using a metal alloy with a low melting temperature (solder) to fuse the electrical contacts of a component to the pads of a circuit board. Proper soldering maximizes the ...

So I've got some storage/organizing needs. I've got some Stanley STST14027 Sort Master which works great for a number of my smaller bits, and hooks together nicely to carry them all together. However, ...

The complexities associated with the use of solders in electronic products. What’s the alternative to solder? A long-standing adage observes that “if the only tool in your tool chest is a hammer, the ...
