Performance requirements for electronic component mounting
-
High Cleaning Performance
In certain instances, cleaning flux residues is essential for enhancing reliability.
Moreover, the increasing miniaturization and density of components require higher flux residue cleanability in micro patterns. -
For Micro-pattern Applications
To address space constraints, modules are becoming smaller and lighter. This necessitates the use of solder paste with fine particles to apply micro-patterns on substrates
-
Compatibility with various mounting methods
Depending on the module product, mounting methods may vary from standard flat mounting and include techniques such as 3D mounting, laser heating, and other specialized approaches.
-
Extended product life
With the shift towards EVs, the number of automotive substrates being installed is rising. The primary challenge is to improve the reliability and longevity of products exposed to harsh environments.
-
Prevention of solder re-melting
In certain cases, multiple reflow processes are conducted before the various components are modularized.
To prevent solder joints from re-melting during multiple reflow operations, it is important to use solder paste with different melting points. -
Ensuring high surface-mount quality
The diverse range of components incorporated in a module necessitates consistently high surface-mount quality across various base materials and surface finishes.
