We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Soldering processes",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Speedy access to latest Molex lines from
RS Components UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "All the latest connectors from Molex are now available from RS Components".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Illuminated switches allow custom designs from
C+K Components: "C22 actuator-style Elum switches can be supplied with snap-on caps with a standard universal power symbol or a custom design".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Optek Technology
concerning its OPI125/6/7/8 Series isolators
- take a look at Optically coupled isolators for rugged protection
which says: "Optically coupled isolators provide design engineers with a direct TTL/LSTTL interface with four output options - totem pole, open collector, inverse totem pole or inverse open collector".
Take a look also at the news release from Electrolube, Flexible silicone coating to launch in Munich,
as well as Coating avoids VOC use from Electrolube,
and SMT headers suit lead-free soldering from Molex UK.
