Panasonic’s trinity, Equipment / Process / Solutions

We will help solve your manufacturing problems by means of process (non-defective mounting method) and solutions together with the delivery of the mounting equipment to you.

Panasonic process solutions solving your problem

0201Mounting method

Collaborating with other mounting material makers, Panasonic is not only just evolving machine function but working for technology establishment of 0201 non-defective production through the evaluation of all steps (from PCB design to reflow).

  • Establishment of material conditions such as mask or solder, or printing stabilization
  • Achievement of non-defective bonding through stable pickup of 0201 component and placement control
  • Verification of the processes and design of land for better non-defective production rate after reflow

We can offer specific support for high yield (rate) from the startup of 0201 tiny chip production at your plant.

PIP(Pin-in-Paste) method

Pin-in-paste method (Through hole printing)

A through-hole with the high aspect ratio can be achieved by the direct press fit method of airtight head printing

Amount of solder filled into a through-hole can be controlled by “Print speed change mode" (standard)

Blind VIA printing

High viscosity (high metal density) paste can be used by highly filled printing

 

Connector-less joint

Panasonic own mounting process that FPC is directly jointed on PCB using a solder particle contained adhesive.
It contributes to cost reduction, thinner and high-density PCB.

Connector-less joint

  • Reduces narrow pitch connector components of expensive and difficult-to-mount
  • Minimizes the connection area and height
    High density and functional improvement of PCB

  • Achieves solder conductivity and resin reinforcement at the same time
    Coming off prevention due to fall or impact
  • Completes connection only at one thermal bonding process at low-load/temperature

 

Supporting Panasonic SMT, electronic material

We develop and manufacture adhesive for temporary adhesion and flux for transfer used in the SMT process.

SMD adhesive

Based on your use, we provide adhesives for the flow and reflow processes.

1. SMD adhesive for flow process

We respond to the following customers requests

  • Want to achieve high-speed dispensing using a dispenser
ADE820DX High-speed dispensing type: 0.08 sec/dot
Red color after adhesive is cured, so it is easy to recognize
  • Want to adhesive that can be stored for long periods
ADE220D, ADE820DX It can be stored at room temperature
25 degree, Sealed adhesive retention period 12 months
  • Want to minimize thermal damage of the components
MR-8128N 85ºC x 60 sec. low-temperature-curing within a short time
 

2. SMD adhesive supporting reflow process (Self-Alignment Adhesive)

(1) SMD adhesive supporting reflow process

ADE451D-225 Sn / Ag solder paste
Curing time: 225ºC x 30 sec
ADE420D Sn / Pb solder paste
Curing time: 200ºC x 30 sec

Because self-alignment adhesive cures at higher temperature than melting temperature of the solder paste, it does not hinder self-alignment effect and component subduction when solder is melted. We prepare self-alignment adhesives suitable for your solder paste.

For such problems, self-alignment adhesive is effective.
ADE400D series is a high-temperature curing type SMD adhesive. We were the first in our industry to introduce the adhesive.
The solder can have good bonding quality without hindering component self-alignment during reflow.
So, fixation of large-size components that adhesive was manually applied after reflow can be performed in-line.
 

(2) Corner adhesive for BGA strength

ADE480D-1 Curing time: 225ºC×30seconds

 

Enhances BGA/CSP solder joint reliability.
The process and repair are easier than underfill.

 

Flux for ball/bump transfer

Flux used when BGA and CSP are placed on PCB, PoP are placed or and flip chip for C4 process is placed on PCB can achieve stable supply for a long time.

 
Black flux MSP514Flux/MSP615Flux

General flux (dark-brown) is also available besides black one.

MSP511Flux RMA
blown
MSP521Flux RA
blown
MSP620Flux Water-soluble
dark-brown

 

Panasonic’s own material formulation technology enables to control flux transfer by recognition.
Ball missing/defect and flux non-transferred ball can be detected by only one recognition, so high yield in the process can be achieved.
