Through-Hole Reflow (THR) technology is a technology used to solder through-hole components to surface mount (Surface Mount) circuit boards (PCBs). ) on the welding method. They were typically used in electronic components that require high mechanical strength and reliability, such as RJ45 connectors.
Basic working principle:
1. Component installation: First, insert the pins of an RJ45 connector into the pre-drilled holes on the PCB. The component pins will go through the PCB and come out the other side.
2. Solder paste printing: Printing solder paste, usually lead-free solder paste, on the through holes of the PCB. The main components of solder paste are solder particles and flux.
3. Preheating stage: PCB enters the preheating zone of the reflow oven, and the solder paste is gradually heated to the temperature range for flux activation. The function of this stage is to remove volatile components from the solder paste and prevent solder beads from being produced during the soldering process.
4. Reflow soldering: The PCB continues to move to the reflow area, and the temperature further rises to the solder melting point (about 217°C to 245°C). The solder paste melts to form liquid solder, which fully wets and combines with the component pins and PCB pads.
5. Cooling and solidification: PCB enters the cooling zone, and the solder quickly cools and solidifies to form a stable solder joint. The electrical and mechanical connection between the component pins and the PCB pads is now complete
LINK-PP chooses through-hole reflow (THR) technology for RJ45 connectors, which can provide higher physical strength and better signal integrity while simplifying the production process. The equipped production equipment includes:
THR technology significantly improves the mechanical reliability of connectors by providing a strong solder joint connection. The soldered pins make reliable contact with the PCB surface, reducing the risk of loose or detached pins. Reduces welding heat and thermal stress during welding, reducing the risk of damage to electrical connections.
THR technology utilizes automated production processes to ensure the consistency and stability of the welding process. By precisely controlling the temperature and time of hot air, the influence of human factors is reduced.
LINK-PP strictly controls quality and monitors and detects each welding process to reduce the occurrence of welding defects and defective products and ensure that the welding quality meets the requirements.
