Selective Soldering Design & Process Setup Webinar

For many organisations through hole components will remain a reality for many years. More and more surface mount components are used in design, through hole is in decline, however the reality is connectors, transformers, switches, LCD displays and electrolytic capacitors are sill necessary in many products. So what is the most reliable and cost effective solution to through hole soldering in a lead-free environment? Selective soldering has become more popular in the last few years for small and large companies alike. Selective wave and point soldering are both options but what are the realities.

Topics Covered:

• Why use selective soldering
• PCB design rules for selective soldering
• Flux requirements for selective soldering
• Compatibility of solder masks and lead-free solder
• Setting up lead-free profiles, you must profile a selective process!!!
• Solder alloy choices
• Copper dissolution with selective
• Soldering defects on selective – Causes and Cures

Who should attend?

Process engineers tasked with process introduction, quality staff, and supervisors wanting to understand the process issues with lead-free selective soldering. Design engineers will benefit from a better understanding of the process they are designing circuit boards to pass through. The workshop may also benefit material, equipment suppliers to have a better understand of all the issues and interactions with new alloys and modern printed circuit design.

Presented by Bob Willis

The webinar lasts between 60-90min with Q&A
