|
|
Selective Stamp Soldering involves fitting a selective soldering machine with a custom stamp soldering nozzle with several aperture indexes around from board to board. Stamp solders small patterns on each printed circuit board. Is reportedly faster than a single nozzle selective soldering routine. Reportedly requires no modifications to selective soldering machine. Nozzle can be removed and exchanged with a standard nozzle. Processes every board in the panel in the same fashion. Has a small multi-port nozzle. A small pattern involving a connector and three other devices takes about 6 to 7 sec.
