Selective Soldering

Selective soldering in an SMT (Surface Mount Technology) plant is a process designed to solder components to a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) in a selective manner, targeting specific areas or components for soldering while avoiding others. This technique is particularly useful in mixed technology PCBs, where both surface mount components and through-hole components exist on the same board. Selective soldering offers a blend of automation and precision that addresses several challenges in modern PCB assembly.
