Characteristics of soldering

Remove of disturbing layers on thesurfaceWetting of the surfaces and spreadingof the solder(with flux)Interdifusion and establishing of alloysystemsCrystalisation of solder

Prof. Fritz J. Nef, Steinbeis TZ Mechatronik-Karlsruhe 4

Soldering process

main requirements:- connection between substrate, solder and SMD- no damage of SMDs- live long reliability of the soldered product

Two different methods:- bringing liquid solder to the point of connection- soldering paste dispensed on the soldering pad

and then treated by reflow soldering

Soldering technologies for printedcircuit boards (PCB)

local soldering technologies:- with soldering hammer, by LASER

automated soldering process for groups(PCBs):- wave soldering (1 wave, double wave)- Reflow soldering (Infra red)- Convection soldering (need of gaz)

Problem: small elements become earliermax. of temperature than big elements

Vapour phase soldering

also known as condensation solderingtransfer of thermal energy according to second law of thermodynamics

the more is the temperature difference themore ist the energy transfertemperature increases more if the thermal capacity is small
