Development and validation of lead‐free wave soldering process
Abstract
Though lead‐free replacements for SnPb eutectic alloys for reflow, wave, and hand soldering have been developed, relatively little has been reported on practical experience of lead‐free wave soldering processes. In wave soldering, the interaction between the PCB, flux, solder alloy and processing equipment makes it desirable to develop the consumables and the wave soldering machine concurrently. A crossfunctional project team was formed and a lead‐free wave soldering process developed and validated through nine months of industrial use in production of broad‐band communications technology products.
