Yes, Pb Free is coming soon... I am studying both Sn/Pb and Pb Free solders. Obviously the profiles will be much different for both pastes. Not to mention that one of my 0201 resistor vendors is switchng to Pb Free terminations in the near future!

In reworking 0201, we: * Cut the 0201 in half with a side cutter * Heat the solder on each pad separately and flick the half 0201 off the board * Preheat a new component to +150°C with a hot plate * Solder a new 0201 on the undressed pads with a hot

We're just now getting into 0201s and I'm wondering how people are doing rework. Is hand soldering still viable or is some type of semi-automated repair station needed?

We use precision tweezers to rework 0402 (OKI MFR-PTZ) not tried with 0201, but it may be a solution. The tweezers themselves have the heating element built in.

Are there solering iron tips for that size component? The C shape end ones. That might be even easier than cutting them first. I would think hand repair is going to be better than a semi-automated repair station for a while.

Looked at it on the web, I believe that it will place those 600 parts in less than 2 hours! And you guys were thinking that it is slow? Ken, not only will it solder those parts with its blazing speed but did you know that you don't even need a sten

Listen. Reworking 0201 is too expensive. Here�s watt yado � * Cut the lil� suka between the pads on the board using side cutters. * Flick each piece from its pad, after melting the solder with a standard soldering iron. * Solder the terminations

Am abit confused here, so suggestion is not to manual rework solder the 0201, and rather to cut em' out, with the cut shear applied at the end-terminals? elaborate pls? thanks

Dear all, I'm considering to buy a nice rework station for our lab. We are not gonna do mass production and the smallest components that we will be soldering is in the order of 0201 smd components. Actually, I'm considering the following three machi

Sorry for delay - been flat out. Sr - I understand what you are saying. My concern is that combined with the head offsets and variations in pick points (i.e. having to teach feeder positions for very slight amounts like 0.05mm)then you cycle times wi
