    Abstract: When applying a flux 2 kept in a container 16 onto a conductive ball 1, the flux 2 is first applied by a squeegee unit 17 on a bottom 16a of container 16 in the form of layer having a certain predetermined layer thickness. Then, a suction head 20 holding a solder ball 1 is lowered towards the container 16. As soon as a touch sensor 43 detects a touching of the solder ball 1 to the bottom 16a, the suction head 20 is lifted, and the solder ball 1 held to the suction head 20 is transferred onto a workpiece. Thus a solder ball 1 may be transferred onto a workpiece after being applied with a certain specific amount of flux 2 with precision.

    Abstract: Fine pitch area array packaging is achieved using a via-in-pad design within the area array attach portion of a printed circuit board (PCB). The limitation of the design is the wicking action, whereby solder applied to the capture pad contact surface is depleted by capillary action into the via hole when reflowed, causing insufficient solder to be present at the contact surface to effect reliable and repeatable electrical connections. In one implementation, an initial application of solder is applied to plug the via hole with a material having a higher final melting temperature than eutectic solder, thereby providing a stable plug. This plug is formed by the initial solder application that may be either a eutectic solder containing a third metal that forms intermetallic compounds, when reflowed, that elevate the liquidus temperature or a solder having a different formulation with an inherent higher melting temperature. An alternative implementation is to plate the via hole with a material, such as nickel, which prevents eutectic solder, applied to the via capture pad contact surface, from wetting the hole surface and being drawn away from the contact surface by capillary action. Thus, the solder, applied to the via capture pad and used to establish an electrical connection is not depleted.

    Abstract: A vertical circuit board soldering apparatus for soldering printed circuit boards by immersing them in a molten solder bath. Air knives are employed to remove excess solder from boards leaving the bath. A displacement mechanism vertically dips the circuit boards. The mechanism comprises a parallelepiped frame that comprises two spaced apart parallel rails securing a sliding chassis therebetween. The chassis comprises three parallel spaced apart members. An upper member transversely extends between the rails while captivating a portion of each rail adjacent its ends. A parallel lower member depends from the upper member with an adjustable intermediate member therebetween. The intermediate member also transversely extends between the rails while captivating another portion of the rails. The intermediate member is coupled to the upper member by a screw jack that moves the intermediate member upwardly or downwardly to vary the distance therebetween to accommodate various board sizes. The intermediate member supports a pneumatic clamp that grasps the upper edge of an inserted circuit board. A holder on the lower member grasps the opposite lower edge of the circuit board to cooperatively stabilize it therebetween. The lower member comprises an elongated bar extending across the top of the bath penetrated by several regularly spaced, threaded holes. The holes enable the bar to quickly shed molten solder entrained thereon. The holder may be either a grooved bracket or a J-shaped hook. An intermediate member shaft moves between spaced apart rollers to ensure alignment. An alignment assembly ensures front-to-back solder uniformity.

    Abstract: In reflow soldering systems the circuit boards are conventionally transported in horizontal direction from a feed portion through a preheating portion, a main heat-treatment portion, a cooling portion and a discharge portion in linear fashion in the longitudinal direction of the system. Such reflow systems, however, are relatively long and therefore require a lot of space. According to the invention, a heating apparatus, in particular for a reflow solder system, for heating circuit boards is provided with a feed portion for feeding the circuit boards in a substantially horizontal direction, at least one heating portion following in transportation direction downstream of said feed portion, a discharge portion for discharging circuit boards supplied from the heating portion in a substantially horizontal direction, and with a transportation device connecting feed portion, heating portion and discharge portion, characterized in that a transportation path of the transportation device extends in the heating portion in a plane substantially in a direction transverse to the horizontal feed or discharge direction, and the transportation path connects feed and discharge portions in a substantially ring-like configuration.

    Abstract: A multi-zone thermal process system utilizing nonfocused infrared panel emitters. An insulated housing has a plurality of zones each having separate panel emitters which heat a product load traveling through the zone and in close proximity to said panel(s) at different peak wavelengths in each zone. The panel emitters emit infrared wavelengths in the middle and far regions. The temperature differences across each zone and between the panel and product are held to a minimum. A specific application of the system is for accomplishing reflow soldering of surface mount devices to printed circuit boards.
