BS EN 16602-70-07:2014

What is BS EN 16602-70-07 - Verification and approval of automatic machine wave soldering about?

BS EN 16602-70-07 defines the basic requirements for the verification and approval of automatic machine wave soldering for use in spacecraft hardware. The process requirements for wave soldering of double-sided and multilayer boards are also defined.

Who is BS EN 16602-70-07 - Verification and approval of automatic machine wave soldering for?

BS EN 16602-70-07 on verification and approval of automatic machine wave soldering is applicable to:

• Automatic machine wave soldering manufacturers
• Space project managers
• Product assurance engineers
• Quality control and regulatory bodies

Why should you use BS EN 16602-70-07 - Verification and approval of automatic machine wave soldering?

Wave soldering is regarded as a critical process that can find limited application during the assembly of components onto printed circuit boards (PCBs) intended for spacecraft. The preferred procedure is by manual soldering to the requirements of ECSS-Q-ST-70-08. Generally, the small number of identically designed circuits does not warrant the setting up of unique machine parameters for each individual layout. When wave soldering is identified as a suitable alternative to manual soldering for use in the customer’s projects, it can be essential to follow the steps outlined in this document before the final customer’s approval is granted.

BS EN 16602-70-07 guides you through the requirements verification and the approval of automatic machine wave soldering. This will ensure that automatic machine wave soldering has adhered to regulatory standards and are efficient in its performance.
