High-Reliability Manual Soldering

Precision, safety and quality – from the very beginning. Reliable solder joints are crucial for accurate measurement results and long-lasting sensor systems.

In this hands-on training, you will learn step by step how to professionally solder cables, stranded wires, and connectors – in the manufacturing of strain-gauge-based transducers, in stress analysis using strain gauges, when connecting other sensors, or when working with SMD components. Our trainers will teach you the fundamentals of manual soldering and guide you through practical exercises.

Take the opportunity and become a soldering professional in practice!

Seminar Content

• Basics of the manual soldering process
  - Physical principles of soldering (wetting, capillary action, alloy formation)
  - Temperature control and soldering time – impact on quality and materials
  - Selection of suitable soldering stations, tips, solder types, and flux materials
  
• Practical soldering
  - Stranded wires / SMD components: tinning and soldering
  - Strain gauges: tinning, handling fine connection wires, fixation and avoiding mechanical stress
  - Connectors: soldering to cables and sensors
  - Soldering exercises with different materials and wire diameters
  - Rework: post-processing and repair of defective solder joints
  
• Cleaning after manual soldering
  - Removal of flux residues: why flux residues can be critical
  - Suitable cleaning agents and methods
  - No-clean or what?
  - Inspection of solder joints after cleaning
  
• ESD protection (electrostatic discharge)
  - Importance of ESD when handling sensors and sensitive electronics
  - Protective measures (ESD wrist straps, work surfaces, grounding)
  - Implementation at the soldering workstation, measurements
  
• RoHS-compliant work
  - Overview of objectives and requirements
  

Target Group

Specialists and production staff from measurement technology, electronics, work preparation, and quality assurance who:

• use strain gauges in the production of sensors and transducers,
• use strain gauges in stress analysis,
• solder cables and connectors to sensors,
• hand-solder or rework SMD components.

Requirements

No special soldering experience required. – Ideal for beginners with a technical background as well as for professionals in production and engineering who want to improve and apply their practical skills more safely.

Your Benefits

• You practice exactly the soldering processes you need in your daily work.
• Learn how to reliably solder fine wires, stranded wires, and connectors with minimal mechanical stress.
• Improve quality – avoid failures.
• Cleaning and inspection: Learn how to reliably remove flux residues and check solder joints for long-term stability.
• Protection of sensitive electronics: Comprehensive knowledge of ESD protection and standards-compliant work (RoHS).
