NORTHBROOK, IL -- North American electronics manufacturing services shipments in December rose 1.3% over last year and 6.2% sequentially, a new survey reports.
BAC GIANG, VIETNAM -- Luxshare Precision Industry will invest an additional $330 million in an electronics manufacturing plant in Bac Giang, a northern Vietnam province.
DONGGUAN, CHINA ― Sasinno USA is pleased to announce plans to exhibit in Hall A2, Stand 275 at productronica 2023, scheduled to take place Nov. 14-17 at Neue Messe München in Munich, Germany. The company is gearing up to showcase its cutting-edge MAS-i2 Selective Soldering Machine with Electro Magnetic Pump and Unit-i1 selective soldering system, highlighting its commitment to revolutionizing electronics manufacturing.
The MAS-i2 Selective Soldering Machine boasts a three-section conveyor system, efficiently handling fluxing, preheating and soldering stages. By optimizing the workflow, the MAS-i2 reduces downtime and enhances production efficiency, with one board in soldering, another in preheating, and a third in fluxing. The system can accommodate two fluxer valves, offering flexibility to choose identical or different valves. For instance, the use of two drop jet valves can effectively double production, or a combination of a drop jet valve and a micro-spray valve enables simultaneous application of two distinct fluxes.
The soldering capabilities of the MAS-i2 are equally impressive, featuring two individual solder pots in separate Z-axis assemblies. This enables soldering on PCBs up to W508 x L508mm (20" x 20") for two nozzles individually or W235 x L508mm (9.25" x 20") for two parallel nozzles. The system's unique flexibility extends to solder pump options, allowing users to employ one solder pump, two pumps simultaneously for accelerated speed, or a combination of different nozzle sizes and solder types without the hassle of changing components.
The Unit-i1 is the latest generation compact inline selective soldering machine. This multifunctional solution integrates a drop jet fluxer nozzle, bottom IR preheating, selective solder pot, and AOI function within a space- saving 55" footprint. The Unit-i1 serves as a comprehensive station for fluxing, preheating, soldering, and inspection. Its versatility shines whether used as a standalone unit or as part of a modular system. For high-volume production, boards can be loaded consecutively, and for varied production needs, each machine can work independently.
With a global reputation for "Smart and Steady Innovation," Sasinno has cultivated a robust worldwide distribution network supported by well-trained engineers. For more selective soldering & turkey THT line solution details, visit www.sasinno.com

CLINTON, NY – Indium Corporation Regional Technical Manager and Technologist – Advanced Applications Andreas Karch will present as part of EPP’s free web session on power electronics on October 19.
Power electronics are used in a wide range of applications, including energy transmission and conversion, electromobility, renewable energy, industrial equipment, and electric drives. Power electronics assemblies require the manufacture of the components and their assembly into a functional electronic assembly. The exact manufacturing processes vary depending on the type of power electronics assembly, the area of application, and the specific requirements. To ensure high product quality and reliability, the manufacture of electronic assemblies for power electronics requires specialized facilities, qualified personnel, and strict quality control measures.
Andreas’ presentation, Reliable Cooling of Power Modules Through Optimized Solder Materials, will examine the use of optimized metal TIMs (thermal interface materials) in the context of power electronics manufacturing.
“High-performance power semiconductors such as SiC/GaN enable the design of high-performance power modules,” said Andreas. “An optimized thermal connection to the cooling system is vital to reliably harness this performance.”
Andreas serves as Technologist – Advanced Applications and Technical Manager for Germany, Austria, and Switzerland for Indium Corporation. He has more than 20 years of experience in automotive electronics and power electronics, including the development of advanced customized solutions. In 2014, the Austrian Patent Office awarded him the “Inventum” award for his patent for innovate LED automotive lighting as one of the top ten applicants. He is an ECQA-certified development engineer and has earned the Six Sigma Yellow Belt.
