[Ted Yapo] shared a method of easily and conveniently soldering to aluminum, which depends on a little prep work to end up only slightly more complex than soldering to copper. A typical way to make a ...

Soldering uses alloys that melt below 840°F to join metals. Molten solder fills the space between surfaces to be joined, adheres to the surfaces, and solidifies. Typical soldering steps include: ...

WHAT is claimed to be the only genuine aluminium and universal solder has recently been demonstrated. It requires the use of no fluxes when used on aluminium and its alloys, pewter, tin, or magnesium.

Rated for capacitances from 10 to 680 µF at voltages from 6.3 to 63 V, the 140 CRH surface-mount aluminum capacitor is RoHS-compliant and supports Pb-free soldering. The capacitor measures from 8 x 8 ...

If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in ...

The German research institute has unveiled a novel interconnection technology for shingled PV modules that eliminates the need for electrically conductive adhesives and screen-printed busbars. It ...

Surface-mount V-chip aluminium electrolytic capacitors from ACAL Components are designed to withstand reflow soldering to +260°C. Manufactured by NIC Components, the six new families of liquid ...

If you’ve ever tried to solder to aluminum, you know it isn’t easy without some kind of special technique. [SimpleTronic] recently showed a method that chemically plates copper onto aluminum and ...
