Selective Soldering Recommendations
Selectivedipsolderingisavariationofreowsoldering.Inthismethod,theprintedcircuitboardwiththrough-hole
componentstobesolderedispreheatedandtransportedoverthesolderbathasinnormalowsolderingwithouttouching
the solder. When the board is over the bath, it is stopped and pre-designed solder pots are lifted from the bath with molten
solder only at the places of the selected components, and pressed against the lower surface of the board to solder the
components.
Thetemperatureproleforselectivesolderingissimilartothedoublewaveowsolderingoutlinedinthisdocument,
however, instead of two baths, there is only one bath with a time from 3 to 10 seconds. In selective soldering, the risk of
overheatingisgreaterthanindoublewaveowsoldering,andgreatcaremustbetakensothatthepartsarenotoverheated.
