Abstract
Through-hole PCB(Printed Circuit Board) was soldered by flow soldering process using cleaning or noncleaning fluxes. Preheating temperature and conveyor speed were changed in the range of 323∼413K and 0.3∼2m/min respectively. The soldered joints were tensile tested in order to evaluated bonding strength. As experimental results, relatively high tensile fracture load, 120∼140N, were obtained in case of preheating temperature of 383K, and conveyor speed was 0.6∼1.0 m/min. Fractured surfaces of higher tensile strength show some dimple area, while those of lower tensile fracture load show brittle fracture.
