Best Publishes Reliable Method for Salvaging Electronic Components Tech Paper
ROLLING MEADOWS, IL -- BEST, a leader in electronic component and PCB services, is pleased to announce they have published a tech paper describing reliable methods for salvaging electronic components to ensure economic reuse for the printed circuit board assembly process.
This technical paper encompasses critically important information about the component reclamation process and is entitled, “Salvaging Electronic Components: A Reliable Method for Reducing Electronic Waste and Ensuring Economic Reuse.” This 10-page technical paper outlines essential information for the component salvaging process and can be downloaded by visiting: https://www.solder.net/blog/salvaging-electronic-components-a-reliable-method-for-reducing-electronic-waste-and-ensuring-economic-reuse/
Topics covered within this publication include impact of electronic waste, rare earth elements, pros and cons of electronic recycling, sustainability and circularity, semiconductor manufacturing resources, component salvaging and reclamation, component pre-baking, component removal, component reconditioning, as well as associated risks of the re-use of salvaged electronic components.
The importance of using high-quality workmanship standards throughout the component reclamation process is essential. This serves to ensure the integrity of the component supply chain, facilitates environmentally responsible practices, and reduces reliance on energy intensive fabrication of new semiconductor devices and electronic components. In conjunction with our ongoing electronic component reclamation activities, BEST is actively involved with the development of the IPC-7712 Component Reclaim Standard to advance circularity within the electronics manufacturing industry and expand the ability of component reuse as opposed to disposal and/or recycling of electronic waste.
