Flow Soldering

What is Flow Soldering? 

Flow Soldering, also known as wave soldering, is a crucial step in the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) manufacturing process. It is an automated soldering technique used to efficiently and reliably solder electronic components onto a PCB. This method is particularly suitable for through-hole components, which have leads that pass through holes in the PCB. Throughout the Wave Soldering process, the circuit board is passed over a bath of molten solder, where a pump produces an upwelling of solder that looks like a standing wave. As the circuit board makes contact with this wave, the components become soldered to the board.

Advantages of Flow Soldering 

Flow Soldering offers several advantages in PCB manufacturing, including speed, cost-effectiveness, and reliability. It is a well-established and widely used technique for high-volume production, especially for applications where through-hole components are predominant.
