As energy consumption has become increasingly important—in terms of cost, availability, and environmental impact—it is about time we use quantitative data to consider carbon emissions and oven energy consumption to make process decisions.
Managing ΔT during reflow is an important part of a well controlled process. Durafuse™ LT provides the extra flexibility for process control and reliabilty on large boards.
This summer, the temperature reached 111°F in Silicon Valley, where I live. This historical record unmistakably brought home the “inconvenient truth”: global warming is upon us, for real – not in the future, but right here, right now.
Shielding the RF waves generated by an MRI machine is mandatory. Soldered copper is one the metals used for RF shielding because it absorbs radio and other electromagnetic waves and easily conforms to any odd angles, while not requiring much maintenance.
