Abstract:
The specification describes a surface mount method for the manufacture of high device density circuit boards. The stand-off space of the components (11) on the board (13) can be enlarged significantly by selectively omitting, or selectively removing, the soldermask (16) underneath the component (11) package. This improves access of the cleaning fluid to the underside of the component (11) during the cleaning operation.
Abstract:
An Sn-Zn lead-free solder alloy according to the present invention is constructed in a manner such that it is an Sn-based solder alloy indispensably containing 6 to 10 wt% zinc at least and further containing 0.0015 to 0.03 wt% magnesium and 0.0010 to 0.006 wt% aluminum. Upon preservation of solder paste not only under refrigeration but also at a room temperature or higher, the inside of solder particle is protected by the protective magnesium/aluminum oxide film formed on the solder particle surface, and a reaction between zinc and an activator is suppressed, so that preservation stability is improved, and at the elevated temperature during soldering, the solder alloy enters a state where said protective oxide film is easily destroyed, so that good wettability is held.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an operating method and to a trolley (20) for a system used for machining objects by using laser beams, particularly for a system used for boring or structuring substrates. The system has a greater number of slow-working laser machining machines (10, 11) than rapid-working laser machining machines (13, 14). A rapid-working laser machining machine (13, 14) utilized afterwards or beforehand can be better used to capacity due to the parallel operation of a number of slow-working laser machining machines (10, 11). The transfer of objects to be machined or already machined objects is preferably effected by means of trolleys (20), which are both compatible with both the loading stations (10a, 11a, 12a, 13a, 14a, 15a) and the unloading stations (10b, 11b, 12b, 13b, 14b, 15b) of the laser machining machines (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15). This enables the objects, which are to be machined, to be directly received by a trolley (20) located in a loading station (10a, 11a, 12a, 13a, 14a, 15a) and, after machining, to be placed in a trolley (20) that is introduced into an unloading station (10b, 11b, 12b, 13b, 14b, 15b) of a laser machining machine (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15).
Abstract:
Soldering flux compositions, solder pastes, and methods of soldering using the same are provided, that exhibit excellent wettability, give highly reliable solder joints, and have superior storage stability. The flux composition contains at least one compound having at least one blocked carboxyl group selected from the group including compound (X) obtained by reaction of a carboxylic acid compound and a vinyl ether compound, compound (Y) obtained by reaction of a carboxylic acid anhydride compound and a hydroxy vinyl ether compound, and compound (Z) obtained by reaction of an acid anhydride and a polyhydric alcohol, followed by addition polymerization with a divinyl ether compound, and the flux composition is non-curing.
Abstract:
A printed circuit board which has been soldered in a molten solder bath is cooled immediately thereafter with a cooling liquid at a rate of at least 10°C/second. Thermal effects of high-temperature solder during soldering are suppressed, and the metal matrix of the solder is refined, resulting in soldered connection of increased strength.
Abstract:
There is provided a flow soldering process for mounting an electronic component onto a board by a solder material, which process is appropriate for using a lead-free solder material as the solder material. In the flow soldering process, thermal efficiency of flow soldering is improved in preheating step and/or solder material supplying step thereof. In one aspect of the present invention, a heating cover is located above a preheater, and the flow soldering is conducted while the board passes between the heating cover and the preheater. In another aspect of the present invention, a gap between a preheater and a solder bath is 20 to 60 mm. In yet another aspect of the present invention, a distance between a primary wave and a secondary wave is not larger than 60 mm.
Abstract:
There are disclosed a soldering apparatus comprising a solder wave shape forming means for melting solder and forming solder wave shape, and a separating agent dusting means for dusting solder oxides with a separating agent which separates solder and solder oxides, wherein said separating agent is any one selected from the group consisting of offal, cereal grain or flour, bean flour, seed grain or flour, soybean-cake flour, and peanut hull flour, or a combination thereof, as well as an agent and a method for separating solder and solder oxides.
