Hi,
If properly done, there is no reliability difference for hand- or
machine-soldered solder joints. HOWEVER, handsoldering subjects the PCBs to higher
temperatures with larger temperature gradients, and thus there are reliability
differences as far as the whole assembl;y is concerned—hand-soldering should be m
inimized to the largest extent possible.
