Abstract:
The proposed procedure, that of laser soldering or welding, is an auto-energetic process in which the density of the laser beam is obtained because of the concentration of light beams. Said process involves two metals (alike or disimilar) and, previously to the metallurgical union, same must be positioned in front of the laser head with enough accuracy. The metallurgical union is carried out by direct fusion of the metals to join, not being therefore necessary any filler metal.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a reflow apparatus and method which can make the running direction of the internal gas flow in a heating section within a reflow furnace constant. A circulating gas path is formed in a heating unit (U) which collects and moves the gas flow (B) from a sirocco fan (11) up to the rear side of the heating unit (U) and at the same time, drops the raised gas flow towards a circuit board (2) on a transfer path from the front side of the heating unit (U). Moreover, a plurality of straightening plates (16) are arranged above the transfer path of the heating unit (U) so as to guide down the hot gas flow (B) running forward to the circuit board (2) on the transfer path. A blow-down nozzle (17) is further constituted of a plurality of plate materials (19) aligned in rows in the transferring direction of circuit boards and having an inverse U-shaped cross section. The blow-down nozzle (17) is arranged below the straightening plates (16) to feed the hot gas flow (B) to the whole surface of the circuit board (1) in the vertical direction uniformly.
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for dispensing droplets of liquid or viscous material are disclosed. A valve is opened to dispense a stream of the heated liquid or viscous material through an elongated orifice of a nozzle. The stream of material being dispensed from the elongated orifice is broken into droplets by rapidly closing the valve. Furthermore, a method for varying the height of a droplet of liquid or viscous material is disclosed by which two or more droplets combine to form a droplet of a desired height. A method for applying a plurality of droplets of material onto a substrate so that the droplets flow together to form a uniform film of desired thickness and shape is also disclosed. A second embodiment of the invention relates to dispensing apparatus with a heater assembly removably attached to the dispenser housing. Another modification of the invention relates to a modified seat assembly wherein the valve has three positions with respect to the valve seat and a modified nozzle assembly wherein the nozzle is constructed of a thin walled tube.
Abstract:
This invention provides a lead-free high temperature solder material comprising 0.005-3.0 wt % of palladium (Pd) and 97.0-99.995 wt % of tin (Sn) whose liquidus temperature is 200-350°C. The solder material is environmentally-friendly, improved in thermal fatigue property, and it can improve the reliability of electronic apparatuses. A predetermined amount of Sn material and Pd is mixed, vacuum-melted and cast to prepare an ingot. The ingot is rolled to be a tape that is later pressed to obtain a solder pellet. In a preferable composition, at least 95 wt % of Sn and 0.005-3.0 wt 5 of Pd are contained, and 0.1-5.0 wt % of metallic (e.g. Cu, Ni) or alloy particles are added. The average particle diameter is about 40 µm. A substrate and an IC chip (5) (electronic element) are die-bonded substantially in parallel by a solder material (3) provided between an Ni plating (4) on the lower side of an IC chip (semiconductor) (5) and an Ni plating (2) on a die (1).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an infrared heater which has a heat conduction plate (52) with a resistance heating element (53) disposed below the heat conduction plate (53) for heating the heat conduction plate (52). The upper surface of the heat conduction plate (52) has an infrared radiation layer (55) formed thereon, which receives heat from the heat conduction plate (52) and emits infrared radiation. The infrared radiation layer (55) is formed of alumina and has a relatively narrow temperature distribution over its surface.

The invention relates to a process for wave-soldering printed circuit boards. In order to obtain wave-soldered printed circuit boards with smallest possible number of solder beads, after the passage on the wave of solder (13), the printed circuit boards (1) are further artificially cooled at an approximately constant time-temperature gradient.
