Product description
Create your own Solder Preforms from Simple Solder Wire.
This amazingly simple and cost effective solution eliminates the need to order expensive preforms. Standard solder wire is used instead to create solder preforms and applied on the board using existing P&P machines.
Main Advantages
- Solder volume significantly increases compared to what could be achieved with just solder paste
- Stronger solder joints
- Eliminate manual processes to add solder volume
- Allow good TH soldering in the SMT process
- PNo more time consuming and costly processes such as wave soldering or selective soldering
- Improved shape and volume of fillet to ensure joints meet IPC specifications
Why do you need it?
In many SMT assembly designs there is a need to apply a larger solder volume in certain locations. Traditional co-planar stenciling often will not deliver the solder volume required. The alternatives, like dispensing or manual soldering, are not efficient enough, time consuming and can cause damage to components or PCBs.
In such situations many customers use solder preforms, which is probably the best way to add solder. However preforms in tape and reel packaging are expensive and it affects the cost of
the production.
With its new Automatic Solder Preform Feeder ASI offers an elegant and cost effective solution making the whole process simple and easy to handle. A standard solder wire reel is used
instead and the preform feeder automatically produces the solder preforms and feeds them to be picked and placed on assembly. Different preform sizes can be obtained though the use of a specific feeders addapted to a specific diameter solder wire.
