reflow soldering

[ˈriːfloʊ ˈsɑːldərɪŋ]
noun
soldagem por refluxo
1. A soldering process in which solder paste is applied to a printed circuit board, components are placed on top, and the entire assembly is heated in a controlled manner to melt and fuse the solder joints without applying a soldering iron directly to each joint.
Reflow soldering is the most common method used in modern electronics manufacturing for assembling surface mount components.
A soldagem por refluxo é o método mais comum usado na fabricação moderna de eletrônicos para montar componentes de montagem em superfície.
2. An industrial manufacturing technique where a printed circuit board assembly is passed through a heated chamber or oven to simultaneously solder multiple components to the board.
The PCB assembly line uses reflow soldering to process hundreds of boards per hour.
A linha de montagem de PCB usa soldagem por refluxo para processar centenas de placas por hora.
Reflow soldering is fundamental to the electronics manufacturing industry in Brazil, particularly in São Paulo's technology hub and in companies producing consumer electronics, automotive components, and telecommunications equipment. The term is universally understood among electronics engineers and technicians in both Brazil and the USA, representing a critical process in modern circuit board assembly.
