There are almost as many ways to reflow a surface-mount circuit board as there are hackers. Today, we add another method to the list. [Dasaki] converted a halogen floodlight into an SMT oven, and did ...

This application note provides guidelines for board mounting of surface mount semiconductor packages. Reflow soldering is a widely spread technology for soldering of surface mount semiconductor ...

Discrete electronic components such as resistors, capacitors and even larger IC's are shrinking down smaller every year, and that makes it harder for the average home maker or hobbyist to create their ...

This is somewhat Mac related, but I think it's more of a chip issue (esp on factory-assembled boards), so I figured I'd post here. Basically, I'm having repeated failures of an ATI 4850 graphics card ...

Assembling with a stencil is just that much more convenient – it’s a huge timesaver, and your components no longer need to be individually touched with a soldering iron for as many times as they have ...

The overall concept of reflow soldering is simple: put a pre-assembled board with some solder paste into an oven and bake it until the solder properly melts. When a board is reflowed, it typically is ...
