Soldering Handbook For Printed Circuits and Surface Mounting

Soldering Handbook for Printed Circuits and Surface Mounting, Second Edition, covers every aspect of this packaging technology, and contains the latest information on design, presolder operations, materials, equipment, surface mount technology, cleaning, quality and inspection, touch-up and repair, process economy, line management, and more. This handbook on the soldering and cleaning of printed circuit boards focuses on the impact of surface mount technology on soldering techniques. It contains over 30 case studies of soldering and cleaning failures and successes. This edition includes new chapters on solder paste applications orientated entirely to surface mounting; an expanded trouble shooting section - production problems solving and field failure prevention; and coverage of those highly automated lines that use the new technology of reflex soldering.
