The introduction of Pb-free alloys to wave soldering has made soldering more difficult when smaller components are used. Different techniques are employed for soldering small components such as 0603 resistors. In many cases, reflow soldering will be used. Components in 0603 sizes can be found in cellphones, hard disk drives, computer-related equipment, car radios, and many other products. These small components can generally withstand higher soldering temperatures. Typical maximum conditions are 10 sec. in liquidus solder of 260[degrees]C.
Two major requirements for good soldering conditions are the same as one would expect for any solder joint:
* ...
