Wave and selective soldering form connections on through-hole and suitable mixed-technology assemblies. Wave soldering passes boards over a solder wave, while selective soldering applies solder to programmed locations using equipment suited to the joint layout.
The methods serve different production needs. A wave process can solder many accessible connections together, whereas selective soldering offers localized access on boards with areas that should avoid the solder bath. Component layout, pallet requirements and thermal exposure influence the choice.
Both processes depend on compatible solder alloy, flux application and preheating. Board transport and cooling also affect joint quality. Compare the complete production sequence, including fixtures, changeovers and inspection, when assessing capacity. Trials on representative assemblies help identify access restrictions and establish suitable process parameters.

Wave soldering forms multiple joints as a PCB passes over a controlled wave of molten solder. It is widely used for through-hole assemblies and compatible mixed-technology boards where the underside can be presented to the soldering process.
Flux application and preheating prepare the assembly before solder contact. Conveyor speed, contact conditions and solder alloy influence wetting and the final joint. Board layout and component orientation can affect drainage, so fixture or pallet design may be needed to protect selected areas.
When comparing machines, review board width, thermal requirements and output at the intended recipe. Bath maintenance and control of process residues contribute to stable operation. Inspection results should be used to investigate issues such as bridging or insufficient solder together with the relevant settings, rather than adjusting one parameter without considering the rest of the process.
