The difference between reflow oven and wave soldering.

1. Wave soldering is a process in which molten solder forms a solder wave to solder components; reflow soldering is a process in which high temperature hot air forms reflow melting solder to solder components.

2. Different processes: Flux should be sprayed first in wave soldering, and then through preheating, soldering, and cooling zones. During reflow soldering, there is already solder on the PCB before it is put into the furnace. After soldering, only the coated solder paste is melted for soldering. Wave soldering When there is no solder before the pcb is put on the furnace, the solder wave generated by the soldering machine coats the solder on the pads that need to be soldered to complete the soldering.

3. Reflow soldering is suitable for SMD electronic components, and wave soldering is suitable for pin electronic components.
