A. Features of PCB Surface Mount Technology
1. **High assembly density, small size, and lightweight design**: The volume and weight of surface-mounted components are approximately 1/10th that of traditional through-hole components. Typically, the adoption of surface mount technology (SMT) reduces the overall volume of electronic products by 40% to 60%, while the weight is reduced by 60% to 80%.
2. **High reliability and enhanced vibration resistance**: The defect rate of solder joints is significantly lower, contributing to improved product reliability. SMT also offers better high-frequency performance, reducing electromagnetic and radio frequency interference.
3. **Ease of automation and improved production efficiency**: SMT facilitates automated assembly, leading to production efficiency gains. This, in turn, results in cost reductions of 30% to 50%, while also saving on materials, energy, equipment, labor, and time.
Why Use Surface Mount Technology (SMT)
PCB products are moving towards miniaturization, and the previously used through-hole components can no longer be reduced in size.
With more advanced functionality in PCB products, integrated circuits (ICs) no longer rely on through-hole components. Particularly, large-scale and highly integrated ICs require surface mount components for efficient performance.
To meet customer demands and enhance market competitiveness, factories must focus on mass production and automation. This requires producing high-quality products at low costs with high output.
The development of PCB components, the evolution of integrated circuits (ICs), and the growing applications of semiconductor materials are key drivers of this change.

**B. Selective Soldering and Wave Soldering Equipment Procurement**
1. **Size**
What size of PCB do you need to handle? Besides a single PCB, consider whether you require two or more panels for better productivity and cost-effectiveness. You should also account for the size of the “scrap” or frame surrounding the PCB. Does the pallet need to be secured in place by the production department? All these factors will affect the overall size the machine must accommodate.
2. **Floor Area**
What is the available floor space? Depending on the configuration, a selective soldering machine’s length may range from about one meter to several meters. Additionally, you must plan for the handling and storage of circuit boards around the machine, as PCBs must be carefully loaded and unloaded before and after soldering.
3. **Machine Maintenance**
Selective soldering machines generally have low maintenance costs, but this could be a consideration if you plan to run the machine continuously throughout production shifts without manual intervention. Some systems require more frequent maintenance to ensure optimal performance, so choose the right machine for your specific needs.
4. **Solder Pots**
How many solder pots are required? For instance, you may want the option to use both leaded and lead-free solder, which would minimize changeover time between jobs. Or you may prefer to have multiple solder pots in the system to maximize throughput.
5. **Solder Nozzles**
What size and type of solder nozzles will you need? These options are generally easy to swap, but limiting the variety can help boost throughput and reduce costs. Smaller or longer nozzles provide better access between components, while larger nozzles are typically better for faster soldering. A range of nozzle sizes, from 1.5 mm up to larger diameters, offers a variety of options.
6. **Nitrogen Supply**
Selective soldering requires high-purity nitrogen. Depending on your machine’s usage and any site-specific constraints, an on-site nitrogen generator powered by compressed air may be more suitable than using an external nitrogen storage tank.
7. **Throughput**
This system typically applies flux at the start of the process, but for extended soldering times, you may need to reconsider the flux at later stages.
8. **Warm-Up**
A typical system can provide both top and bottom heating for the PCB before and after soldering. If the heat generated during soldering is insufficient—particularly if you have multiple soldering or reflow stages—additional heating might be necessary based on the components of the PCB.
9. **PCB and Assembly Handling**
The system can be loaded and unloaded manually or designed for automated handling. For longer production runs, adding a PCB stacker at the input/output stages may be more effective. Alternatively, if the PCB needs to load components in parallel with soldering, a conveyor might be a better choice.
10. **Optional Features**
Many systems offer optional features, some of which are standard, while others may be add-ons. For example, the ability to detect, measure, and compensate for bending or warping in the PCB may or may not be necessary depending on your requirements.
11. **Configuration**
Do you anticipate needing to change the machine configuration in the future, such as adding more solder joints, flux, or preheating? If so, a modular system may be more suitable than a single fixed system.
Shenzhen Longgang SMT Chip Processing: At first glance, this may seem like a simple process of selecting and purchasing capital equipment. However, many factors must be considered to ensure you choose the right machine for your business. While some of the above questions may have straightforward answers, many will require experimentation to determine the best system for your specific needs.
**The Technological Revolution in Electronics is Inevitable: Staying Ahead of International Trends**
**Why Use a No-Clean Process in Surface Mount Technology?**
The wastewater generated during PCB cleaning processes can pollute water sources, soil, and even harm plants and animals. In addition to water-based cleaning, the use of organic solvents (HCFCs and HFCs) for cleaning also harms the atmosphere and contributes to air pollution.
The residue left by cleaning agents on the PCB can cause corrosion, severely affecting the product’s quality.
Reducing the cleaning process and associated machine maintenance costs is another benefit of adopting no-clean processes. Additionally, there are some components that simply cannot be cleaned.
The flux residue is controlled, ensuring that it meets the visual appearance requirements and avoids issues during inspection of the cleaned state. The remaining flux has been continuously improved to enhance electrical performance, preventing leakage and damage to the finished product.
The no-clean process for PCBs has passed numerous international safety tests, confirming that the chemicals in the flux are stable and non-corrosive.
