Abstract

A liquid flux using water instead of a volatile organic compound as the liquid carrier is used in a wave soldering process. Undesirable formation of solder balls, solder bridges and solder webbing is prevented by using an air knife to direct a vigorous jet of gas at the dielectric substrate in the preheating section.
