AGI now
manufactures Titanium Selective Solder Pallets
utilized for difficult wave soldering applications. These applications include PCB’s
that are designed with plated through hole components
in very close proximity to bottom side
SMD’s. By machining titanium vs. composites, AGI can
achieve ‘seal walls’ down to .020 inches
thick standard and as small as .015 inches thick over
short distances.
AGI Corp’s
design is based upon machining a single piece of
titanium to match the PCB and incorporate that into
a composite pallet frame. By
doing this, the heat is distributed evenly across the
PCB during the solder process. By avoiding using
small titanium inserts screwed to the pallet; we
avoid the issues of leaking, alignment and thermal
mismatch. The composite frame runs much cooler than
the titanium coming out of the wave, so it is easier
to handle or convey after soldering. The titanium
pallet design includes many of the proven AGI designs
for low defect wave soldering. |
