Wave soldering and reflow soldering are two commonly used electronic component welding process, there are some differences between them, mainly including the following aspects:
1. Principle of the process:
Wave soldering: In wave soldering, electronic components are transported by a conveyor belt to a pre-heated solder wave, and the pads are contacted with the solder to achieve welding.
Reflow soldering: In reflow soldering, the solder paste pre-coated on the circuit board is then heated through the process, so that the solder paste is melted, and the electronic components are fixed on the pad for welding.
2. Applicable scenes:
Wave soldering: suitable for mass production of electronic circuit boards, suitable for welding easy to weld components.
Reflow soldering: suitable for soldering complex, sensitive components and for SMT (surface mount technology) circuit boards, but also for small quantities or single board welding.
3. Soldering effect:
Wave soldering: Soldering solder is relatively thick, fast soldering speed, suitable for traditional components and large connection points.
Reflow soldering: welding solder joints small, flat, suitable for welding SMT components and small size pads.
4. Soldering temperature and control:
Wave soldering: the welding temperature is usually higher, welding time is short, the welding process is relatively simple.
Reflow soldering: the welding temperature can be precisely controlled, usually requires three stages of preheating, welding and cooling, the welding process is more complex.
Wave soldering is suitable for large-scale, high-speed welding needs, while reflow soldering is suitable for welding complex, small-sized components and flexibility requirements of the scene. When choosing which welding process to use, comprehensive consideration should be given to specific product requirements, process requirements and production scale to ensure that the most suitable welding process is selected. We wish you ideal welding results in the welding process!
