Improves wetting: Flux helps molten solder flow smoothly (or “wet”) across the surfaces, promoting even coverage and a strong ...

Abstract: Mechanical stability of solder joints has influence on total reliability of electronic products. Mechanical stress affect on properties of solder joints during function, transport and ...

Abstract: This article focuses on the formation of the voids inside the solder joints during reflow soldering in surface mount technology (SMT). The stencil printing technology is commonly used during ...

I'm not great at soldering SMD components so I recommend starting with those. That would be the LEDs and the voltage regulator. After that you can continue with the chip socket and the pin header. You ...
