We wonder if [Carl Bugeja] was looking at a 3D printer’s heated bed when he got the idea to create a PCB reflow heater using a PCB. He tried a quick test to heat up a standard PCB and made it ...

It’s not too hard to make your electronics project get warm. Design your traces too small, accidentally short the battery inputs together, maybe reverse the voltage going to your MCU. We’ve all cooked ...

In dual-lane mode, the system accepts boards from single-lane upstream production and employs a modular shuttle to double throughput, making it the first dual-lane vapour phase unit on the market.

Electronic enthusiasts searching for a new compact open source Smart PCB reflow machine may be interested in a new device created by the team at MagicBox, called the REFLO Air. Watch the demonstration ...

Altus Group is now offering the ASSCON VP 2200 vapour phase reflow system, the first dual-lane inline VP unit available in ...

Hard to believe, but occasionally a useful article appears somewhere other than EDN. I recently enjoyed Bob Baddeley's quick rundown of some PCB reflow problems you might encounter, such as ...

The soldering process has always presented challenges in large scale PCB applications. Perhaps the largest challenge is the risk that the high temperatures of tooling and soldering could cause damage ...
