Soldering iron with automatic soldering connection validation

摘要

Abstract A soldering iron station and a method thereof for a soldering joint connection validation, the method including: identifying a type of the soldering cartridge being used; performing a preliminary validation by measuring the soldering tip temperature, after the soldering event has 5 started; monitoring the power level delivered to the soldering tip to detect liquidus occurrence; determining the thickness of an intermetallic component (IMC) of the soldering joint; determining whether the thickness of the IMC is within a predetermined rage, within a predetermined cooling time period; and indicating that a reliable soldering joint connection is formed, when the thickness of the IMC is within the predetermined rage, within the 10 predetermined cooling time period.
