SolderKing Enhances Brainboxes' Electronics Manufacturing with Expert Support and Advanced Materials
March 26, 2025 | SolderKingEstimated reading time: 1 minute
In modern electronics manufacturing, success relies on more than high-quality soldering materials. Technical knowledge and process expertise are just as crucial for achieving consistent results. SolderKing, a leading UK manufacturer, provides both, combining advanced consumables with specialist support to help manufacturers optimise their soldering processes.
By working closely with customers to refine soldering processes, fine-tuning reflow oven settings, optimising process parameters, and supplying high-performance consumables, SolderKing helps manufacturers achieve peak efficiency and reliability. This expertise recently benefited Brainboxes, a globally recognised developer and manufacturer of communication devices, by further enhancing their reflow process, through tailored technical support and material recommendations.
Chris Ward, Chief Operating Officer at SolderKing, said: “To ensure soldering success, it’s essential to optimise not only the materials used but also the entire production process. We work closely with customers to analyse reflow oven profiles, assess thermal dynamics, and adjust key parameters such as conveyor speeds and heating rates. In the case of Brainboxes, we applied our technical expertise to further enhance their reflow process. This level of precision ensures that every solder joint meets the highest standards, and manufacturers can continue to rely on both superior materials and process stability for efficient, high-quality production.”
Omar Abdullah, Production Manager at Brainboxes said: “One of the standout features of SolderKing is their commitment to customer support. They went above and beyond to assist by providing expert support and ensuring that the reflow oven optimisations were perfectly tailored to meet our specific needs.
“Their willingness to go above and beyond in providing ongoing support, whether through troubleshooting, product improvements, or offering technical advice, ensures that clients feel confident in the long-term reliability of their services. They not only deliver a high-quality product, but they also ensure it continues to perform well and meets evolving needs.”
As electronic assemblies become more complex, manufacturers increasingly rely on both advanced materials and expert support to maintain high standards. SolderKing continues to invest in research, development, and customer-focused solutions to ensure its products and expertise keep pace with industry demands.

The Death of the Microsection
06/26/2025 | Bob Neves, Reliability Assessment Solutions, Inc.I got my start out of college grinding and polishing PCB microsections. My thumbs are a bit arthritic today because of the experience (microsection grinders know what I mean). Back then, via structures were rather large, and getting to the center in six steps of grinding and polishing was easy compared to what my team has been doing recently at the lab.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
