Note: Soldering Steel Connectors to a Brass Block
Objective:
Heat an assembly of small, gold-plated steel connectors to a brass block.
End Product:
Brass block
Equipment:
Ambrell 1 kW induction heating system equipped with a remote workhead.
An induction heating coil designed and developed specifically for this application
Materials:
Approx. 1/8” (3.2mm) diameter gold-plated steel connectors
1”(25.4mm) square x 1/4” thick brass block
Temperature:
600°F (315.6ºC)
Frequency:
240 kHz
Testing:
A two-turn helical coil is used to provide uniform heat to parts assembly. Solder paste and flux are applied to the joint area and power is applied for 20 seconds to solder the parts. Proper fixturing is needed to hold the parts in position.
Benefits:
-
Rapid, localized heating to specific regions of part
-
Neat and clean joints
-
Flameless processing
