soldering flexible and solid leads

Objective
Solder flexible and solid leads to a copper connector in under 3 seconds by reaching a temperature of approximately 400°F (204°C) with induction heating.

Equipment
UPT-SM5/200
HS-4W Heat Station
3-turn coil

Materials
• Solid copper lead
• Flexible copper load
• Copper connector

Key Parameters
Power: 0.40kW
Temperature: Approximately 400°F (204°C)
Time: 3 sec

Process:

  1. A coating of solder flux is applied to the wire and lead.
  2. The assembly base is positioned inside the coil.
  3. Induction heat is applied for 3 sec until the soldering is complete.

Results/Benefits:

  • Induction heating pinpoints the heat to the desired area of the part
  • Improved process control for precise heating to a desired temperature
  • Power on demand and rapid, consistent heat cycles
  • Technology without pollution, which is both clean and safe
