The Pads have unique values of thermophysical properties (THP) having important contribution over heat transfer into the PCB structure. Materials with high thermal diffusivity (TD) rapidly adjust their temperature to that of their surroundings, because the HT is quick in compare to their volumetric heat capacity (VHC). In the paper is presenting the diffusivity tests (ASTM E1461 flash method) f...

The soldering of small, delicate electronic devices by means of a blade thermode (a small, thin, rectangular or -shaped soldering iron) requires the lower side of the thermode to have a uniform temperature distribution. This is not easily obtained: during start-up the corners tend to be too hot, and too cold in the stationary phase. In the present study the various aspects that determine the he...

We have devoted an effort to study some nonlinear actions, characteristics of the W-theories, in the framework of the soldering formalism. We have disclosed interesting new results concerning the embedding of the original chiral W-particles in different metrical spaces in the final soldered action, i.e., the metric gets modified by the soldering interference process. The results are presented i...

Legislation is being developed worldwide to reduce the lead content in many consumer electronic products. This is being taken as an action to reduce environmental impact when such products are discarded. Despite the fact that lead containing solders in electronic assemblies account for only 0.49% of world lead consumption, the trend in legislation will likely be to require not only reduced lead...
