The Metcal CV-5210 Connection Validation Soldering Station features an embedded, self-regulating heater that delivers the right amount of power based on the requirements of the solder joint. This provides a fast, safe and repeatable process with no calibration required. The CV-5210 also features an intermetallic compound thickness that is critical in the formation of a solder joint. Connection Validation (CV) evaluates the quality of the solder joint by calculating the intermetallic compound formation and provides closed loop feedback to the operator. CV provides feedback to the operator via the LED light ring integrated in the hand-piece. It takes the risk associated with the variables involved in the soldering activity and removes the success and failure determination of a good solder joint out of the hands of the operator. CV complements the skill of the operator to judge the quality of a solder joint by introducing an objective method of evaluating solder joint quality. This systemic and objective approach provides repeatability and a measureable standard to the soldering process.
