I am looking for a small benchtop rework station for replacing bad QFP132's as well as a variety of SO8 to SO20 components and 1206 chips. I've been looking into some IR heating equipment as well as hot air tools, but have little experience with suc

snip | | | | | I add my opinion to MoonMan's, hot air is the way to go. We have 3 big systems for BGA rework, 2 from AirVac, 1 from OK Industries. For most other SMT rework needs we use simple hot air systems. We have over a dozen of these small

Well our small UK based company is I guess in a similar situation, there isn't the volume or value to justify an expensive solution for fiddly rework tasks. But it would certainly be nice to have one and may become more important in future as people

Hello, Have you had a look into our Focused IR Rework systems? A popular alternative to the convectional Rework systems. Our IR-E3M (Micro) would be perfect for your applciation and on one machine you will have the capability of Reworking BGAs up to

I know what you mean. Saw this in systems where cooling was not done through the reflow nozzle (i.e. PACE). What happens is that as you run 1-2 profiles, the metal parts along the pathway of the hot air (before it comes out of the nozzle) act as he

In both cases, it will depend on storage conditions, unless you do something horrible to them (or as previously mentioned, wash them) months & months. For boards we put through SMT and then stash for THT loading in smaller qty's I don't think we've e

I'd agree with getting a stencil fully cut, and taping the pads you don't want paste on. But, I'd also check with the people that will be doing the hand soldering to see what they prefer. Some people prefer soldering on bare pads, some prefer solde
