Why Do Electronic Products Need Burn-In? What Are Its Pros and Cons? What Is Run-In?
In the early days, when electronic component design and manufacturing were still developing, the “burn-in” solution was used to screen out defective electronic components and products. This process allowed early-failing products to be identified and eliminated, preventing defective items from … Continue reading

Selective Mask Wave Soldering Process: The Optimal Timing and Limitations
Workingbear initially thought that wave soldering machines should have been relegated to museums by now! However, despite the decades-long development of Surface Mount Technology (SMT), many PCBs still undergo wave soldering processes. But nowadays, most wave soldering processes employ Selective … Continue reading

Can Surface Mount Devices Run Through the Wave Soldering Without Falling Into the Pot?
In previous discussions, Workingbear introduced the “wave soldering” process, which was used in early day of PCBA soldering. SMT assembly, on the other hand, emerged later. Can wave soldering be used for Surface Mount Devices (SMDs) after SMT placement? Workingbear … Continue reading
