Intermetallic Compounds in Solder Alloys: The Common Misconception
Intermetallic Compounds in Solder Alloys: The Common Misconception
This paper describes the IMCs that occur typically in eutectic, Sn63Pb37, near-eutectic SAC305, and high-performance tin-based Pb-free solder alloys.

How Long Solder Paste Can Be Left On a Stencil Without Activity
How Long Solder Paste Can Be Left On a Stencil Without Activity
How long can we leave solder paste on a stencil without any activity? If activity means not printing, then we are talking about a pause or abandoned time. The Assembly Brothers, Phil Zarrow and Jim Hall, discuss this scenario and share their own experiences.

Risks Using Flux Only for Soldering BGAs
Risks Using Flux Only for Soldering BGAs
What are the risks using flux only versus solder paste for placing BGAs in a hybrid lead-free environment? Why would you only use flux, why not solder paste?
