Hi, I am located in Auburn Mass (USA) right near Worcester. Now I noticed you talked about micro stencil for a populated PCB, would I need one? Or could I use a syringe to lay a tiny dot of paste since im only replacing a chip or 2 (at the moment)? I

Mark, This is a big topic. Where are you located, it would probably be best to hook you up with someone in your area. Anyhow, lead or lead free should be based on whether the circuits are lead or lead free. I would guess that cell phones would all

I'm in North Attleboro, small world. To answer your question, you can deposit small dots of paste with a syringe. Kind of tricky work, and there are small stencil soluions out there fairly inexpensively. See http://www.minimicrostencil.com/ (I do

you're right for sure, but there is some brand like hakko i don't like them why ? because process and menus (controllers) doesn't really give a good result. For example fm206, hot air/desoldering/soldering station doesn't have the real tc. And a lot

I'm looking for advise on setting up a prototype station for smt (we are currently outsourcing smt production, but have a need for rapid in house prototyping). The station must be able to handle only single sided boards with components no smaller th

SMT assembly, First, you must utilize paste otherwise the parts will not stay put. Do you have any leaded devices such as QFPs or SOICs? Dispensing paste by hand is very difficult and time consuming for these types of parts. You can either dispense

If you are use to this kind of work, you can repair/replace these components with a simple hot air blower, (�100) Get a good air and temperature controlled hot air blower, and a skilled operator, mount a thermocoupler on a testboard, and learn the t
