  • Process and structure for a solder thief on circuit boards
    Patent number: 5604333
    Abstract: The formation of solder bridges between pads on circuit boards is minimized by a process and structure for wicking excess solder deposited during a wave soldering process. Solder thieves are placed adjacent to a last pad of a series of pads and are approximately the same width and twice the length as the pad in order to provide sufficient wicking of solder. Thus, the excess solder is formed on the solder thieves and solder bridges are prevented.
