Applications
Selective Soldering
Selective soldering is a more percise method for attaching components to printed circuit boards, offering a faster alternative to hand soldering and using less material than traditional methods. It’s one of the most effective techniques in the industry and is steadily growing as assemblers shift away from more costly methods. Indium Corporation provides a variety of products ideally suited for selective soldering applications.
Overview
Customized, Reliable, and Efficient: The Rise of Selective Soldering
Selective soldering has gained popularity for its ability to boost productivity and improve yields. This method offers process reproducibility, optimization, and enhanced reliability, all while providing less heat exposure to nearby components. Selective soldering can also be fully automated, making it an efficient solution for modern assembly processes.
Benefits
Selecting the Right Solder Flux and Optimizing Processes
Reliable Soldering Performance
Selective soldering allows for better soldering performance as each joint location can receive the precise amount of flux, heat, and solder to create a reliable solder joint.
Process Customization
Process optimization is quick and easy, allowing different components to receive different parameters during the same run.
Cost Optimization
Eliminate the need for expensive aperture wave solder pallets while reducing rework, labor time, and material costs.
Component Safety
Ensure reliable solder joints without exposing nearby components to excessive heat.
