The factors that cause circuit board soldering defects have the following three reasons:

1. The solderability of the circuit board holes affects the soldering quality.

The poor solderability of the circuit board holes will cause virtual welding defects, which will affect the parameters of the components in the circuit, resulting in unstable conduction of the components and inner layers of the multi-layer board, causing the entire circuit to fail. The solderability refers to the property of the metal surface being wetted by molten solder, forming a continuous smooth adhesion film.

The main factors affecting the solderability of printed circuit boards include:

– The composition of the solder and its properties, including flux content and impurity control.

– The welding temperature and cleanliness of the metal plate surface, which can lead to oxidation and contamination issues.

2. Welding Defects Caused by Warpage

During the welding process, warpage of the circuit board and components can lead to defects like virtual welding and short circuits due to stress deformation. Warpage is often caused by temperature imbalances and board weight issues. For large PCBs, warpage can occur due to uneven stress distribution.

3. The design of the circuit board affects welding quality.

In terms of layout, a balanced design is crucial for optimal soldering results. Factors to consider include:

– Shortening connections between high-frequency components to reduce EMI interference.

– Proper fixation of heavy components with brackets to prevent stress on solder joints.

– Considering heat dissipation for heating elements to avoid defects and rework.

– Arranging components in parallel for ease of welding and mass production, while avoiding abrupt changes in wire width.

In conclusion, optimizing PCB board design is essential to ensure successful soldering and prevent defects caused by factors such as warpage, poor solderability, and layout issues.
