  • Patent number: 8132707
    Abstract: The present invention provides a flow soldering apparatus that can suppress the occurrence of soldering defects, even if VOC-free flux or low-VOC flux is applied to an electronic circuit substrate. In other words, the flow soldering apparatus according to the present invention includes: a water content sensor for measuring a residual water content of a surface of a substrate; and a monitoring device for judging whether soldering quality is satisfactory or not by using a residual water content value of the surface of the substrate acquired from the residual water content measured by the water content sensor, on the basis of a correlation between a residual water content value of a surface of a sample substrate and a residual water content value of through holes of the sample substrate, as acquired previously by using a plurality of substrate samples.

  • Patent number: 7780057
    Abstract: A soldering apparatus has a conveyor which conveys an electronic circuit board, a fluxer which applies a flux having water as a solvent to a surface of the electronic circuit board to be soldered, a first heating device which heats the electronic circuit board, a water removal device which removes water attached to the electronic circuit board, a second heating device which heats the electronic circuit board to maintain the electronic circuit board at a temperature at which the flux exerts its activating action, a flow soldering bath in which molten solder is attached to the electronic circuit board, and a cooler. The water removal device includes a gas blowing portion having a first jig which blows a gas to an electronic component disposition surface, and a drawing portion having a second jig which draws water from the surface to be soldered.

  • Publication number: 20100032190
    Abstract: A mounting structure formed by bonding the electrodes of a substantially planar electronic component to the electrodes provided on the mounting surface of a circuit board includes a sealing body 5 formed between one main surface of the electronic component and the circuit board and/or on the other main surface of the electronic component. The sealing body 5 is composed of a plurality of layers having different adhesive strengths and thermal conductivities, wherein a layer having a relatively high adhesion strength is arranged in a region being in contact with either one of the electronic component and the circuit board, and a layer having a relatively high thermal conductivity is arranged in a region being in contact with none of the electronic component and the circuit board.
