Temperature Versus Time Curves for Manual and Automated Soldering Processes

摘要

Temperature-versus-time curves were recorded for various electronic components during pre-tinning, hand soldering, and drag soldering operations to determine the temperature ranges encountered. The component types investigated included a wide range of electronic assemblies. The data collected has been arranged by process and will help engineers to: (1) predetermine the thermal profile to which various components are subjected during the soldering operation; (2) decide--on the basis of component heat sensitivity and the need for thermal relief--where hand soldering would be more feasible than drag soldering; and (3) determine the optimum drag solder control parameters.
