Solder (UK: /ˈsɒldə, ˈsəʊldə/; NA: /ˈsɒdər/) is a fusible metal alloy used to create a permanent bond between metal workpieces. Solder is melted in order...

Soldering (US: /ˈsɒdərɪŋ/; UK: /ˈsoʊldərɪŋ/) is a process of joining two metal surfaces together using a filler metal called solder. The soldering process...

Reflow soldering is a process in which a solder paste (a sticky mixture of powdered solder and flux) is used to temporarily attach anywhere from one to...

The solderability of a substrate is a measure of the ease with which a soldered joint can be made to that material. Good solderability requires wetting...

A soldering iron is a hand tool used in soldering. It supplies heat to melt solder so that it can flow into the joint between two workpieces. A soldering...

Solder is a metallic material that is used to connect metal workpieces. The choice of specific solder alloys depends on their melting point, chemical...

heating of the joint by the soldering tool. In high-temperature metal joining processes (welding, brazing and soldering), fluxes are nearly inert at...

Solder paste is used in the manufacture of printed circuit boards to connect surface mount components to pads on the board. It is also possible to solder...

soldering is a bulk soldering process used for the manufacturing of printed circuit boards. The circuit board is passed over a pan of molten solder in...

Solder mask, solder stop mask or solder resist is a thin lacquer-like layer of polymer that is usually applied to the copper traces of a printed circuit...

Organic solderability preservative or OSP is a method for coating of printed circuit boards. It uses a water-based organic compound that selectively bonds...

Body solder is a type of solder used to smooth the surface of automobile bodies before painting. It has been largely supplanted by polyester body fillers...

Solder fatigue is the mechanical degradation of solder due to deformation under cyclic loading. This can often occur at stress levels below the yield stress...

on the bottom of the package, each initially with a tiny solder ball stuck to it. These solder spheres can be placed manually or by automated equipment...

be fixed to conductive pads on the outer layers, generally by means of soldering, which both electrically connects and mechanically fastens the components...

Dip soldering is a small-scale soldering process by which electronic components are soldered to a printed circuit board (PCB) to form an electronic assembly...

A soldering gun is an approximately pistol-shaped, electrically powered tool for soldering metals using tin-based solder to achieve a strong mechanical...

Stencil printing is the process of depositing solder paste on the printed wiring boards (PWBs) to establish electrical connections. It is immediately followed...

Nathaniel Perry Solder (born April 12, 1988) is an American former professional football player who was an offensive tackle in the National Football League...

to cover only the solder pads. ENIG and ENEPIG are meant to replace the more conventional coatings of solder, such as hot air solder leveling (HASL/HAL)...

Selective soldering is the process of selectively soldering components to printed circuit boards and molded modules that could be damaged by the heat...

integrated circuit packaging, a solder ball, also a solder bump (often referred to simply as "ball" or "bumps") is a ball of solder that provides the contact...

In mathematics, more precisely in differential geometry, a soldering (or sometimes solder form) of a fiber bundle to a smooth manifold is a manner of attaching...

"Soldering" is a song written by Ewart Beckford & Alvin Ranglin, and originally released by the Starlights featuring Stanley Beckford in 1975. Other artists...

without holes, called solder pads. Solder paste, a sticky mixture of flux and tiny solder particles, is first applied to all the solder pads with a stainless...

Ultrasonic soldering (U/S soldering) is a flux-less soldering process that uses ultrasonic energy, without the need for chemicals to solder materials,...

hot air (solder) leveling) is a type of finish used on printed circuit boards (PCBs). The PCB is typically dipped into a bath of molten solder so that...
