BTC Electronic Components to Offer Hot Solder Dipping for Connectors
Wake Forest, NC (July 25, 2008) BTC Electronic Components, a value-added distributor serving the connector industry, has added lead-tinning to its menu of services. BTC will provide correct, consistent lead tinning on a JIT basis for customers, avoiding time-consuming and expensive re-tinning of stored components and enhancing COTS connectors to meet the reliability requirements of the military by reflowing plated leads using tin-lead solder.
BTC's Unit Design ALT 100 automatic tinning machine reaches solder temperatures of 700° F (370° C) allowing for tinning with the majority of lead-free alloys as well. The ALT 100 features programmable parameters including: flux dwell, pre-heat dwell, solder set point, solder depth, solder dwell and exit speed to assure consistent quality soldering. BTC will inspect parts with magnification according to visual quality acceptability requirements. The automated equipment will minimize the handling of connector assemblies preventing damage and contamination.
"BTC desires to be a supplier who continues to provide items which meet all performance, compatibility, and reliability requirements for our customers. We are glad to offer cost-effective solder dipping services to our customers to improve the performance of our connectors and save customers added cost," stated Bob Barnett, President of BTC Electronic Components.
