What are the key indicators for AEC-Q200 certification of automotive electronic solder pastes?

AEC-Q200 certification for automotive electronic solder pastes is a key standard to ensure that they meet the high reliability requirements of the automotive electronics industry. the AEC-Q200 certification covers a series of stringent test items, the following three dimensions from the core test items, test conditions and requirements, and the sig

PCBA processing paste selection of the "five-dimensional evaluation method"

In PCBA processing, solder paste selection is a key link in determining solder quality, reliability and productivity.The "5-Dimensional Evaluation Method" is a systematic and structured selection method, which comprehensively considers the five core dimensions of alloy composition and performance, process adaptability, solder reliability

Effect of Oxidation Rate of Tin Powder in Solder Paste on Cold Soldering

Solder paste is a mixture of tin powder particles and flux paste. The flux in the solder paste has four static properties and four dynamic properties. The four dynamic properties of the industry is often referred to as flux to remove the oxide layer, prevent re oxidation, reduce the surface tension of liquid solder

Abnormal Growth and Cracking of IMC in ENIG Electroless Nickel-gold Plating

ENIG (Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold) is a widely used process for PCB surface treatment, also known as immersion gold or electroless nickel gold. The gold layer of ENIG is thinner and less dense than that of electroless gold plated boards.

What are the steps in the lead-free soldering process?
