Wave soldering is a commonly used electronic component welding process, according to different welding methods and process parameters, can be divided into the following different classifications:
1. soft wave soldering (Wave Soldering):
Soft Wave Soldering is a common wave soldering process for high volume electronic circuit boards.
In soft wave soldering, electronic components are pre-assembled on a circuit board and then transported on a conveyor belt to a wave soldering oven for soldering.
During soldering, the solder wave is heated through the furnace, causing the solder to melt and coat the pads to complete the soldering.
2. Selective Wave Soldering:
Selective Wave Soldering is a relatively more precise and flexible wave soldering process for soldering specific areas or complex components of a circuit board.
In hard wave soldering, the solder wave is controlled by the wave head (wave nozzle) to control the position and shape of the solder, allowing for localised or precise soldering. 3.
3. Dual Wave Soldering:
Dual Wave Soldering is a variant of the wave soldering process that employs two different sized solder peaks for soldering pads and components of different sizes.
Dual Wave Soldering improves soldering efficiency and accuracy, and is suitable for soldering boards with different sized components at the same time.
4. Wave Soldering with Liquid Flux:
Wave Soldering with Liquid Flux is a variant of Wave Soldering with Liquid Flux (Liquid Soldering Flux), which provides better cleaning of pads and pins and improves solder quality.
These are common wave soldering classifications, and different types of wave soldering are suitable for different soldering needs and process requirements. When choosing which type of wave soldering to use, you should consider the characteristics of the product, production scale and welding precision requirements and other factors in order to select the most suitable welding process. We wish you ideal welding results when using wave soldering!
