Experts,

Is there any reference to the best wetting time when doing manual soldering in order to get the most reliable joints i.e to avoid thick intermetallic line formations. I heard people says, the shorter the better, but how short is short...say for typical 1206 package, what is the best wetting time.

thank you in advance

Not more than 5 seconds.

Iron tip temperature / solder alloy / flux composition / pad solderability protection / component termination solderability protection / cleanliness of the soldering iron tip / board design / ladeda
