Bittele Electronics' selective soldering process uses a fountain
of molten solder to pinpoint individual leads.
December 2, 2019 - Bittele Electronics, with facilities in Canada, The United
States, and China, has an ability to perform "selective soldering" on through-hole mounted
components to target individual pins as opposed to exposing the entire PCB to a
wave soldering process. As described on the Bittele website, selective soldering
is used on assemblies where through-hole components are distributed across the PCB,
as opposed to a high density connector pin array where applying a single blob of
solder (using a "fountain" stream - see image to the right) would be difficult.
In some instances both wave soldering and selective soldering is used. Since the
vast majority of printed circuit assemblies use surface mounted components, selective
soldering and/or wave soldering is performed first for through-hole component, and
then surface mount components are added and a solder reflow pass bonds them to the
PCB. Selective soldering allows through-hole components to be safely soldered even
after the reflow process has been completed. Read more on the "Bittele's Selective Soldering Capabilities"
webpage.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail"
when a new message arrived...
