Note: Soldering a copper tab on a speaker ring

Objective:

Heat copper tab until the solder reflows.

End Product:

audio speaker

Equipment:

Ambrell 1.2 kW, 150-400 kHz solid state induction heating system equipped with a remote heat station containing one 1.2 µF capacitor and a specially-designed work coil. A multi-turn helical coil about 3/16 inch internal diameter made out of 1/16 inch diameter tubing.

Materials:

Copper tab 0.25 X 0.25 inch square about 0.05 inches thick. Lead free solder material (higher melting temperature than regular solder.)

Temperature:

500*F (260*C)

Frequency:

286 kHz

Testing:

Solder wire is fed onto speaker tab area using an automatic wire feeder. It is then heated to re-flow the solder

Benefits:

With an efficient coil design induction heating easily reaches the desired reflow temperature in a very short amount of time.
