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.

July 2025 PCB007 Magazine: Sales—From Pitch to PO
07/18/2025 |Though all parts of a company are essential for holistic success, it is a foundational truth that a company lives and dies by its sales. If there are no sales, the company eventually ceases to exist, or as Henry Ford says, “Nothing happens until someone sells something.” In the July issue of PCB007 Magazine, we break down the sales stack and provide a guide to up your sales game.

Beyond Design: Refining Design Constraints
07/17/2025 | Barry Olney -- Column: Beyond DesignBefore starting any project, it is crucial to develop a thorough plan that encompasses all essential requirements. This ensures that the final product not only aligns with the design concept but is also manufacturable, reliable, and meets performance expectations. High-speed PCB design requires us to not only push technological boundaries but also consider various factors related to higher frequencies, faster transition times, and increased bandwidths during the design process.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Addressing End-of-life Component Solderability Issues, Part 4
07/16/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileIn 1983, the Department of Defense identified that over 40% of military electronic system failures in the field were electrical, with approximately 50% attributed to poor solder connections. Investigations revealed that plated finishes, typically nickel or tin, were porous and non-intermetallic.
Digital Twin Concept in Copper Electroplating Process Performance
07/11/2025 | Aga Franczak, Robrecht Belis, Elsyca N.V.PCB manufacturing involves transforming a design into a physical board while meeting specific requirements. Understanding these design specifications is crucial, as they directly impact the PCB's fabrication process, performance, and yield rate. One key design specification is copper thieving—the addition of “dummy” pads across the surface that are plated along with the features designed on the outer layers. The purpose of the process is to provide a uniform distribution of copper across the outer layers to make the plating current density and plating in the holes more uniform.
