  • Assess the ease of maintenance and availability of replacement parts.
  • Check for advanced features like nitrogen atmosphere for reduced oxidation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is wave soldering used for?
Wave soldering is used for soldering electronic components to PCBs, particularly in high-volume electronics manufacturing.
How does wave soldering work?
Wave soldering works by passing PCBs over a wave of molten solder that attaches components to the board.
What are the advantages of wave soldering?
Wave soldering offers high-speed processing, consistent solder joints, and efficiency in mass production.
Can wave soldering handle SMT components?
Yes, wave soldering can handle certain SMT components, though surface mount technology is typically more efficient for SMT-only assemblies.
