Selective Wave Soldering

Process training in selective, machine wave soldering in accordance with guideline AVLE1511. Combined theoretical and practical knowledge, with a focus on practical application.

Knowledge imparted in module 6:

• Structure of printed circuit boards, materials and surfaces
• Requirements for PCBs and components, their process windows and important specification parameters for soldering
• Properties of lead-free solder materials and their effects on selective soldering
• Classification and mode of action of fluxes
• Design of selective soldering systems
• Process parameters and their determination for fluxing, preheating and soldering
• Methods and measuring equipment for process monitoring
• Soldering faults, their analysis, assessment and countermeasures
• System checks on selective soldering systems in preparation for production
• Setting and checking flux, preheating and soldering parameters in practice
• Soldering test assemblies with different parameters and checking the effects on the soldering result
• Evaluation of the soldering results according to the current IPC-A-610

Includes:

• Printed personal training documents
• Examination documents
• AVLE qualification certificate module 6 after passing the final theory exam
• AVLE Soldering License or entry of the completed module

Entry requirements:

Basic knowledge of industrial electronics production is recommended.

Note:

This module is usually offered by the training centers in combination with module 5 (wave soldering) due to the close relationship. Please note the date descriptions in the AVLE training calendar!
