New Heating Method Yields Better Solder Joints
AMP / Tyco Electronics
Constant temperature -- that's one secret to producing high-quality, reliable solder joints. A new soldering technology provides constant temperatures even when thermal loads and application time vary. This means that one variable of the process is brought under very tight control.
The technology provides a self-regulating temperature source (SRTS). Not only does the heater strip not overheat or underheat, it does not rely on feedback to adjust for fluctuating temperatures. Feedback, after all, responds to variations. With SRTS, temperature is held constant by the material, so there is no need for feedback.
