Has reflowing surface mount components got you down? [Giorgos] is currently working on a project that will lift your spirits…. well at least your hot air gun. Tired of manually holding his heat gun in ...

This is exactly what it looks like. [Oleg] calls it soldering in inert atmosphere, but it’s just a toaster oven reflow hack dropped into a container full of carbon dioxide. Why go to this trouble?

Modding today's hardware often means moving or removing tiny surface mount components, and using a standard soldering iron feels about as effective as using a hammer to kill a fly. If buying an ...

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 ...

TDK has created a range of surface-mount high-current common-mode chokes. “Customers who prefer reflow soldering but need high-current common-mode chokes can now get an SMD solution,” according to the ...

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 ...
