Overview

Managers, engineers and technicians will use this book during industrial construction of electronics assemblies, whilst students can use the book to get a grasp of the variety of methods available, together with a discussion of technical concerns. It includes over 200 illustrations, including a photographic guide to defects, and contains many line drawings, tables and flow charts to illustrate the subject of electronics assembly.

Soldering in Electronics Assembly looks theoretically at everything needed in a detailed study, but in a practical manner. It examines the soldering processes in the light of electronic assembly type; solder; flux; and cleaning requirements. It has information on every available process, from the most basic hand soldering through to latest innovatory ones such as inert atmosphere wave soldering and zoned forced convection infra-red machines. The book provides a detailed analysis of solder and soldering action; purpose of flux and relevant flux types for any application; classification of assembly variants; assessment and maintenance of solderability. There is also a detailed analysis of soldering process defects and causes. In addition, Soldering in Electronics Assembly contains a new chapter on Ball Grid Array (BGA) technology.

Mike Judd is MD of Mike Judd Marketing and former MD of Electrovert UK, Director of Marketing Europe for Electrovert, part of the Cookson Group, and Director of OEM at Speedline.

Keith Brindley is a technical author with a wealth of experience of all aspects of electronics technology.

Editorials

From the Publisher

'This excellent book clearly explains soldering processes, solder, flux, cleaning and quality control, as they apply to printed circuit board assembly. [The book] deserves a place on the desk or bench of everyone involved in the practical business of modern machine soldering in electronics.'
ITRI Journal

Booknews

Updating the 1992 edition to cover the latest technical developments and trends in the field of electronics assembly, two electronic technology experts survey the state-of-the-art in soldering components onto a printed circuit board. Their ten rules of machine soldering encapsulate the demands of soldering processes and electronic assemblies. Among the more conventional appendices on soldering problems, solutions, safety, systems, processes, and machines, is a humorous "guide for the misguided" on blaming wave soldering machines for difficulties. Lists trade publications and journals, institutions and associations, and standards organizations and bodies. Illustrated with b&w photos of equipment and graphed machine temperature profiles.
