Soldering is one of the important processes in electronics
Soldering is one of the important processes in electronics. The process involves the joining and mounting of different electronic components onto the printed circuit board (PCB). This helps in forming an electrical connection. There are different types of soldering methods in use today depending upon the requirements and applications. These include robotic, hand, selective, and wave soldering techniques. Wave and selective soldering techniques are the most widely used in the electronics industry. But, which one should you choose for your PCB assembly ? This post discusses both wave and selective soldering techniques in detail. An Introduction to Wave Soldering Process Wave soldering is popularly known as flow soldering. It is an in-line process wherein the base of the PCB is treated with flux, and is preheated, and immersed in molten solder. It is one of the most preferred methods for soldering a large number of PCBs at the same time. The process begins by: ●...
