ERLANGER, KY – A selective soldering seminar will take place here Sept. 25, hosted by Seho North America and Balver Zinn.
The one-day seminar will focus on precision in the selective soldering process, with the resulting demand for process optimization to improve both quality and cycle time. The seminar will provide theoretical background information followed by hands-on training.
Attendees will learn process teaching parameters; Pb-free selective soldering; typical issues in the selective soldering process, such as poor hole fill, solder bridging and solder balling; basic rules for board design to avoid difficulties in the production process, and process-related soldering defects and corrective measures.
Balver Zinn will present a practice-oriented lecture, highlighting the influence of flux on different solder processes and its impact on the long-term reliability of solder joints.
Additionally, a special focus will be placed on solder bath management to avoid solder contamination due to copper dissolution and other metals.
