2025年2月7日 · When it comes to PCB assembly, solder wicking is one of the critical factors that can affect the quality and longevity of your circuit board. If you've ever wondered what this is and how it can impact your project, you're in the right place.

2020年1月20日 · Solder Wicking (also know as Solder Drainage) occurs when the solder flows away from the pad on a PCB, accumulates on the surface of the board and enters nearby via holes and tracks. Usually, the component terminal has a lower melting point than the pad to which it is being soldered.

Wicking occurs when the copper from a plated-through hole (PTH) extends along the glass fiber fabric. Why is this important? This results in intermittent electrical shorts or complete shorts due to bias driven migration of copper towards non-common conductors.

2024年12月18日 · Learn about PCB wicking, its causes, and how it impacts circuit performance. Discover prevention methods for PCB manufacturing.

2023年10月10日 · The wick features super flexibility and portability, which makes it perform well in repairing or redoing PCB boards at home or in a professional setting. The summary of benefits and disadvantages of solder wicks are shown below.

2024年10月25日 · This article will explore the causes, implications, and preventative measures related to solder wicking, helping to equip PCB designers and manufacturers with the knowledge to improve assembly outcomes.

2021年5月25日 · Solder Wicking is referred to as when the solder gets flown away on a PCB from the pad. This further leads to dirt getting accumulated on the surface that leads to holes and tracks.

PCB Solder wicking is also known as desoldering wick. It is a tool or process in electronics circuit design to remove excessive solder from a mounted component, joint, or electrical connection on a printed circuit board.

2023年5月22日 · Wicking solder, also known as solder drainage or solder escape, occurs when the solder moves away from the intended pad on a PCB and accumulates in undesired locations. The component terminal typically has a lower melting point than …

2024年10月9日 · Solder wicking is most commonly encountered in the following scenarios: PCB Assembly : Wicking is a frequent issue in the manufacturing process when components are soldered onto PCBs. Rework and Repair : Solder wick is used to remove excess solder and correct wicking defects during rework.
