Why Does PCBA Need Hand Soldering Processing

PCBA factory generally use wave soldering for soldering during the DIP soldering technology. This can not only improve the soldering efficiency, but also realize mass production. However, some components that are not resistant to high temperatures cannot be soldered by wave soldering. At this time, hand soldering processing is required - requiring employees to solder with electric soldering irons. Although the speed of hand soldering processing is relatively slow, it is also a very important form of soldering.

Five reasons for why PCBA factory use hand soldering processing:

1. Components are not resistant to high temperature

Nowadays, lead-free technology is becoming more and more popular. During wave soldering, the temperature inside the furnace is higher than that of the lead. So, some components that are not resistant to high temperature cannot be soldered by wave soldering.

2. The components are too high

Wave soldering is also limited to the height of the components. If the components are too high, they will not pass the wave soldering.

3、There are a small number of plug-in components

In a PCB, there will be some plug-in components on the wave soldered side. If it is a small number of plug-in components, hand soldering processing can be used to improve efficiency.

4. The component plug-in is close to the process PCB board edge

If the component plug-in position is close to the edge of the PCB board, it will touch the assembly line, which will affect the normal soldering.

5. Special components

For high-sensitivity components with special requirements from customers, it is also not suitable for wave soldering technology. Hand soldering processing is a very important soldering method in PCBA processing, which can make up for the shortage of wave soldering and improve soldering efficiency.

In addition, after the hand soldering process is completed, QA personnel are required to conduct a comprehensive inspection to ensure product quality.
