Selective soldering is a soldering process where components are soldered to a printed circuit board (PCB) individually, rather than soldering all components at once. It's commonly used for soldering components that are either too sensitive for reflow soldering, or for soldering components that need to be added after reflow soldering. It offers greater precision and control compared to wave soldering, minimizing thermal stress on the PCB and surrounding components. This makes it suitable for high-mix, low-volume production environments, or for soldering specific areas on complex boards.
