QC Electronics: What to Know About Selective Soldering

QC Electronics continues to offer every client access to a variety of high-quality new and pre-owned products, including everything from refurbished Print Control Boards (PCBs), ovens and printers to Quad machines and wave solders. Since 2001, QC Electronics has been the go-to source for quality capital equipment and services for the electronics manufacturing industry.



Selective soldering, as QC professionals know, has more commonplace throughout the electronics industry than ever before, in large part due to increasingly smaller sizes and complexity of parts. Selective soldering is much faster than traditional soldering methods, and offers manufacturers the opportunity to be better prepared for increased customer demand.



Selective soldering also reduces the amount of material required to complete the job, such as tips, solder and flux, reducing the consumables required by machines while increasing overall levels of accuracy and efficiency. This is perhaps the number one reason for selective soldering’s recent uptick in popularity.


QC Electronics offers customers a wide range of selective soldering and wave soldering equipment, as well as the best in customer service, support and installation of all equipment they sell.

QC Electronics: A Focus on Proper Material Handling

The professionals at QC Electronics understand the importance of proper Material Handling of Printed Circuit Boards, which is why they take great care to ensure proper handling and storage protocols are maintained and followed throughout the entire process.

A leading supplier of used capital equipment for electronics manufacturers since 2001, QC Electronics understands just how delicate, and sensitive, such assemblies can be, which is they conduct material handling and storage of Printed Circuit Boards within a safe and closely monitored environment.

As they know, there are several components of Printed Circuit Boards that are highly sensitive to the presence of static electricity, and that a board’s contact with such charges can lead to damage to the entire assembly. Destructive charges are often transferred through contact with testing instruments, soldering irons or solder extractors that are not properly used or grounded, which is why QC professionals take extra care to use only that equipment which is designed to prevent such discharges, and to do so within those environments designated as ESD/EOS safe work areas. 


QC Electronics professionals work around the clock to ensure all proper Material Handling and storage procedures for Printed Circuit Boards are followed at all times.
