GCSE Design and Technology · key term
A process in which solder on PCB contact pads is heated until it melts and flows, then cools to form joints connecting surface-mounted components to the board.
Used by AQA
Paper 1
Revise: Commercial assembly and soldering processesCommercial manufacture uses two linked processes: pick-and-place assembly positions the components, and flow/reflow soldering joins them to the PCB.
For AQA, describe flow/reflow soldering using surface-mounted components, solder on contact pads and heating in a reflow oven. Wave soldering is listed separately.
