    How to solve the problem of high light decay in cold-joint components

    Are you struggling with unreliable connections on your PCB due to cold solder joints? Hot air rework is a powerful technique to fix these issues and restore your board's functionality. A cold solder joint forms when the solder does not properly bond the component lead to the pad—typically due to inadequate heat, oxidation, or poor technique. While these joints may look acceptable at first glance, they can become problematic over time, especially when exposed to vibration, thermal. This guide explains what a cold solder joint is, what it looks like, why it happens, and how to reliably identify, fix, and prevent it.


  • Cable trays are allowed to proceed under green light

    Cable trays are allowed to proceed under green light

    Answer: No; walking on cable trays is not to be permitted. It violates the new version of NEMA standard VE-2, manufacturers marking and recommendations, and the intent of the NFPA70 Electrical Safety in Employee Work Practices. Prohibited Areas: Cable trays cannot be used in hoistways or enclosed spaces and must remain accessible. The significance of this difference is that it varies the type of wires that can be employed.
