Selective Soldering — How do You Know if Your Machine is In Spec?

Cover Industry Papers - Electronics

OVERVIEW

Selective soldering has seen dramatic growth recently, as manufacturers seek alternatives to wave soldering. The selective application of molten solder to targeted components provides many benefits including protection of temperature-sensitive componentry, process optimization and high-reliability solder joints. Using selective soldering methods can also lead to material reduction (solder, flux, nitrogen), eliminate specific tasks (masking, rework, cleaning etc.) and reduce energy consumption (less solder to keep molten than in wave equipment). However, like any process involving people and mechanical systems, selective soldering success depends on many variables.

KEY LEARNING POINTS:

  • Why selective soldering precision is vital.
  • Importance of verifying selective soldering equipment specifications.
  • How simple, easy-to-use verification tools can confirm accuracy.

Thermal Profiling Course

Learn why thermal profiling in electronics is important.

Accurate measurement of any process is the key to success. In electronics, thermal profiling is the only way to fully understand what is happening in the reflow soldering process.

This course will provide you with…

  • Review the basics of thermal profiling
  • Why profiling is important
  • What could happen if profiling is not regularly employed

Oven vs. Product Profiling

Cover Industry Papers - Electronics
Whitepaper - Oven vs. Product Profiling

OVERVIEW

A simple alternative to conventional “golden board” profiling offers quality assurance and repeatability for high-mix, low-volume manufacturing operations.

KEY LEARNING POINTS:

  • A three-channel test vehicle can be used as a surrogate to represent a profile of a populated product.
  • By using a surrogate test vehicle, you can save resources and improve product quality and repeatability.
  • By profiling the oven instead of the product, tremendous production benefits are realized.

Machine Quality Management

Making sure thermal processes operate within spec encompasses several elements, with one of the most critical being equipment function. Leveraging independent tools – as opposed to equipment supplier systems — to confirm machine performance is the ultimate second opinion.  ECD’s machine verification technologies seamlessly integrate with M.O.L.E.® thermal profilers for a simple approach to machine quality management.

Trust, but verify, with ECD machine quality management tools. Learn more.

Process Test Pallets

Machine Quality Management (MQM) tools ensure soldering equipment – whether reflow, wave, or selective – is performing to specifications. Keeping a machine operating within its set tolerances sets a good foundation for product quality and high-yield operations. ECD MQM pallets use the M.O.L.E.® thermal profiler as the data collection device, enabling the use of one data acquisition system that can be used across soldering equipment platforms.
