Soldering Process
SOLDERING PROCESS
- A Thermode is used to apply heat and pressure over a specific time/temperature profile. Temperature feedback is provided via thermocouple.
- Solder needs to be heated to at least 40 degrees Celsius above melting point for about 2-3 seconds to provide the best wetting and flow.
- Heat is produced by passing an electrical current through a thermode which is resistive.
- The force applied transfers the heat to the part and the solder.
- Flux is used to remove and prevent oxide formation.
