WAVE SOLDERING NOZZLE SYSTEM AND METHOD OF WAVE SOLDERING

摘要

A wave soldering machine includes a housing and a conveyor coupled to the housing. The conveyor is configured to deliver a printed circuit board through the housing. The wave soldering machine further includes a wave soldering station coupled to the housing. The wave soldering station includes a reservoir of solder material, and a wave solder nozzle system adapted to create a solder wave. The wave solder nozzle system has a nozzle frame, and a nozzle plate secured to the nozzle frame. The nozzle plate includes a first zone of openings positioned adjacent a leading edge of the nozzle plate, a second zone of openings positioned proximate a middle of the nozzle plate, and a third zone having no openings positioned adjacent a trailing edge of the nozzle plate.
