Wave Solder

Using wave solder fixtures can provide a multitude of benefits ranging from supporting the PCB during the wave soldering process to reducing the amount of time required for hand “touch-up” operations after the wave. In addition, wave solder fixtures reduce solder defects, permit wave soldering while masking bottom- side components, create thermal protection for heat sensitive areas, ensure proper component placement and provide consistent, repeatable and high-yielding soldering results.

Dedicated Fixtures

GSC can provide you with all forms of wave solder solutions that will increase your soldering effectiveness and reduce your soldering costs. Our fixtures can be engineered, designed and manufactured to your specification and deployed for use with a basic single-sided through hole PCB or a densely populated PCB with double-sided SMT’s.
