Broadband Printing � A Paradigm

The SMT industry is going through a challenging phase of assembling miniature components, such as micro BGA, 0.3mm CSP and 01005 passives onto Printed Circuit Boards (PCB). This effort is primarily driven by the cell phone and other hand held device industries due to consumer demand for smaller devices with more functionality. Other industries, such as those that supply the defense and those in medical electronics, among others, are also expected to start using such miniature components in the near future. Because these miniature components require solder deposits that are significantly smaller per pad than other components that will reside on the same circuit board, such as QFPs, PLCC�s, there arises a challenge in SMT assembly to satisfactorily deposit solder paste for all components on the PCB.

Best, Inc instructors have put to video demonstrations of common hand soldering skills. These are not designed to be in place of live one on one training where repetitive skills and subsequent one on one feedback is given. Rather they are quick refreshers designed to be viewed if a specific skill has not been practiced in a while.
