Wave Soldering Pallets and Fixtures

Selective Wave solders pallets

Wave soldering of through-hole components continues to be a viable and necessary process in printed circuit board manufacturing. Eent and cost effective, wave soldering will be around for a long time into the future.

CATOS's complete range of wave solder pallets, fixtures and tooling will stand up to your lead free requirements and optimize your wave solder process, assisting you in maximizing your yields and improving your overall process reliability.

Benefits

• Wave Solder Pallets provide strong, stable support for the PCB throughout the wave solder process
• Wave Solder Pallets permit wave solder processing of through-hole components while masking solder-side SMT components and critical board features from molten solder
• Wave Solder Pallets provide thermal protection for printed circuit board areas that are heat sensitive
• Wave Solder Pallets allow processing of odd-shaped PCB's through conveyor system
• Wave Solder Pallets prevent topside component movement throughout wave solder
• Wave Solder Pallets align and position topside components throughout wave solder
• Wave Solder Pallets increase assembly production by eliminating hand gluing and masking operations
• Wave Solder Pallets ensure higher quality, repeatable process results
• Wave Solder Pallets reduce bridging and skipping solder defects
• Wave Solder Pallets provide safe, easy, ergonomic handling of PCB

Features

• Maximum possible "Knife Edge" beveling of fixture openings, provides the best possible solder flow to component leads
• Wave Pockets and Solder Channels promote better solder flow
• Ergonomic PCB and component holddowns.
• Pallet design keeps bottom of circuit board coplanar with the conveyor
• ESD composite construction protects sensitive components by providing controlled static discharge
• Free PCB pocket covers provided with multi-up fixtures
