Selective Solder
What is Selective Solder? Why is it used?
Selective Solder is a replacement for legacy wave solder processes, where individual through hole components are soldered using a molten solder fountain tip. The tip moves around under the PCB and “touches” pins and pads needing solder. This process is used when parts can not be attached to a PCB due to mechanical or thermal limitations of the part.
Selective Solder is ideal for connectors, batteries and heatsinks.

Selective Solder Case Study
Our selective soldering capabilities in practice
The photo to the right shows a battery operated temperature monitoring device operating from a lithium coin cell. Lithium coin cells are unable to withstand the heat profile of reflow associated with SMT processing.
To accomplish this project we utilized a selective solder secondary operation to attach the lithium coin cell.
This is a common application for selective solder, along with heatsinks, super capacitors, large connectors and large through hole components.
