CHANDLER, AZ – Ace Production Technologies and Phase 4 will host a selective soldering workshop here Aug. 10.

“Mastering Selective Soldering Processing and Manufacturability” features a combination of classroom curriculum and hands-on training designed to educate and enhance working knowledge of the overall selective soldering process.

This session focuses on the technical aspects of the selective soldering process and describes the process variables to enhance the flexibility, reliability and quality provided by all types of selective soldering equipment. Questions about using a selective solder process, and differences in process parameters when working with tin-lead and lead-free solder alloys, will be answered.

Topics Include fundamentals of through-hole soldering; solderability issues; lead-free and tin-lead solder alloys; flux deposition and flux activation; no-clean processing; design guidelines; quality measurement; process troubleshooting guidelines; and process optimization methods.

Attendees will learn how to improve selective soldering effectiveness; programming tips and tricks; how to reduce selective soldering defects; advanced process troubleshooting techniques; and how to reduce post-solder rework and increase yields.
