A solder preform is specifically shaped solder designed for direct application in soldering processes.
Offering improvements in work efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and quality over traditional soldering techniques, solder preforms are utilized across various industries. These include electronics, automotive, telecommunications, precision equipment manufacturing, and repairs.
The use of solder preforms simplifies the soldering process by placing them between the substrate and electronic component, then melting the solder with heat. This ensures proper wetting of both the substrate and component with molten solder, followed by cooling to solidify the joint. The pre-measured solder eliminates the need for manual measurement, reducing waste and costs, while guaranteeing consistent solder volume for high-quality connections.
