How cute is that? We and Earl Sir Moonbeam were using those electric fry pan 'hot plate' things years ago. Look here: http://www.smtnet.com/forums/Index.cfm?CFApp=1&Message_ID=10155 Haters, turn down the volume.

We are using hot-plate. It is the safest method to rework aluminum substrate PCB's. http://www.martin-smt.de/en/rework/products/pre-heater-hotbeam.html "For efficient rework on heavy electrical systems with flat bottom surface and LED PCBs the pow

Hello! I am an Electrical Technician with Filtronic Comtek. I am responsible for all of the Engineering changes and rework done to prototype and pilot run PCB's. My current rework equipment includes: Soldering irons, heat gun, and hot plate. Consid

Three methods, all work, all require generous use of flux. 1.) Use a heated, electrical desoldering tool with flux. Just be sure that you select a forgiving desoldering tip with a rounded tip end to it so that you do not scratch the pad. Advantage:

| Also the preheating of the board is done to help evaporate any water/alcohol that is in the flux - water is a big problem in No-clean processes. From our experience, a temp range around 200f - no more than 220f is ideal for the bigger boards, but t

One diagnostic tool that I have found useful in the past is the "hot plate test". Place suspect components and/or PCB's on a hot plate and turn it on High. Then observe. Granted the conditions on the hot plate are not the same as in a reflow oven,

A hot plate should do it. Since your throwing the board away a good hot plate could get you to just above reflow topside and you could remove them all at one time. To do this however the bottom side of the board would probably be damaged, but you don

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

Not sure if Multicore/Henkel still offers it, Prozone is an outstanding chemistry for RMA removal. Heated to a relatively low temp. No Ultrasonics necessary. Could use a Pyrex Beaker Hot and Hot Plate to test.

If its like my wave, the t-couple might not be mounted over a whole where the hot air blow out./ mounting it on the hot plate makes it over heat alot.
