I would like to know if induction soldering is safe for all SMDs or not.


Thank you. :)
 

I never heard of induction soldering used with PCBs. I can neither imagine a regular heating effect nor "safe operation".
Can you refer to existing professional equipment?
 

I guess you would have to explain further. If you mean a hand held soldering iron (weller, etc) that uses induction to heat up a closed loop copper heating tip--yes it is safe.

If you mean placing a circuit board inside of a 5 KW 13.56 MHz induction heating coil to solder a large metal part to the board, probably not--you run the risk of 500 amps trying to flow thru your IC's. I suppose it could be done IF there were no current loops possible on the board--would require a careful design.
