Selective Soldering is the process by which conventional leaded components are soldered onto a printed circuit board. It is often necessary to process leaded components that are in very close proximity to surface-mounted parts. Selective Soldering offers the ability to accurately control a nozzle so that parts can be soldered without any damage to the nearest surface mount devices. In some cases, solder points as close as 1mm to the nearest surface mount component, thus offering a highly flexible and cost effective solution.
