In order to be able to do full prototype assembly, you will need to be able to mount and reflow a large number of different devices of differing technology. One part might be a simple QFP, another might be a .4mm pitch uBGA. If you are prototyping a

I finaly get a vacation and decide to go to the forum and low and behold it's hot air verses a small ray of sun.I read every thread and still failed to see any real argument either way? I love rework as an assembler. I hate rework as a shop owner. Th
