‘Solderability’
An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release Kemet offers range of high-voltage capacitors from Kemet Electronics, which we summarised at the time by saying "Kemet Electronics has introduced high-voltage capacitors for applications including power supplies, industrial equipment, DC/DC converters and more into its Flexible Termination product line.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release BLT offers support for solder paste and wires from BLT Circuit Services: "BLT Circuit Services has announced the stocking, sales and technical support of the Sn100C solder paste and solder wires manufactured by AIM Solder. ".
In February 2009, we covered the news from BLT Circuit Services - take a look at Flux reduces degradation of wave solder pallets which says: "BLT Circuit Services has introduced the No Clean flux, which reduces the degradation of composite wave-solder pallets. ".
Take a look also at the news release from TT Electronics Welwyn Components, Welwyn Components launches chip resistors, as well as New options in multilayer ceramics from Kemet Electronics Corp, and MLCCs pack in more capacitance from Kemet Electronics Corp.
