Wave Solder

Category: Plated Through Hole

Description: Wave Solder is the process for bulk soldering Plated Through Hole (PTH) printed circuit boards, by passing them over a pan of molten solder in which a pump produces an upwelling of solder that looks like a standing wave.

(For Surface Mount PCAs, see Reflow.)

Major Cost Drivers -- PCBA Wave Solder

Cycle Time = Process Length / Conveyor Speed
