Induction Soldering Stainless Steel To Wire With IGBT High Frequency Heating Units
Objective Heat Stainless steel connector for soldering application inย automotive wire harness manufacturing
Material Stainless steel connector 1.57โ (40mm) long, 0.6โ (15mm) ODย & 0.4โ (10mm) thick. Lead free solder
Temperature 392 ยบF (200 ยบC)
Frequency 352 kHz
Equipment โข DW-UHF-6kW induction heating system, equipped with aย remote workhead containing one 1 ฮผF capacitor.
โข An induction heating coil designed and developedย specifically for this application.
Process A two turn channel coil is used for soldering the connector toย the wire harness. The stainless steel connector and wireย harness are placed in the coil for 20 seconds for the solder to
fill just the top of the connector.
Results/Benefits Induction heating provides:
โข By precisely heating the metal, the plastic shroud is notย directly heated
โข Reduced production cost
โข Faster process time, reduced production cost
โข Hands-free heating that involves no operator skill forย manufacturing
โข Even distribution of heating
