We have just been using a pair of hot tweezers from either pace or ersa. We are in the process of switching to the metcal brand. they seem to be the best out there.

Yes Nancy when it comes to PLCC or anything bigger then Som, so16 we too use vacumm pens. The initial comment was regarding passive compoents. As for the fristch semi : the vision system is the only thing that is still being used for: 20 mil QFPs

I know that static concerns are very important in your work. Are static concerns eliminated by the antic-static devices you wear or which are in your environment, or do the hand tools you use, such as picks, tweezers and brushes, need to be anti-stat

I would shy away from a Dremel. They are great for a hobby, but produce too much spin off at the tip to be reliable. A micro-drill is the appropriate tool. The cheap way out would be tweezers scissors. That is if you can get under the trace.

Ken, Thanks for the info but I do not see where this addresses my main concern of placement using an alternative to the tweezers and keeping the board on the conveyer. Please let me know if I am missing something. Thanks, Kevin

Removal: Run the board through the reflow oven with the cooling zone turned off. Then pick the QFP with a pair of tweezers. Replace: Don't clean the solder from the QFP. Just dip them in tacky flux, place the component, and reflow.

Try this: * Run the board through your reflow oven set for a "normal" recipe, but with the cooling section turned off. * Pick the BGA from the board while the solder is still liquid using tweezers [or similar tool].

Hi Mike at least what I know your answers are....... 1. Soldering Iron, solder tips, wire, flux, desoldering solder wicks, pair of tweezers etc. 2. Try Practical component. They have all kinds of dummy components, dummey boards that you can play wit

What about things like tweezers, vaccuum pens, and hand held optical tools? I mean jewelers loupes and magnifing glasses. You might want to carry two classes. Economy models at low cost and higher end more expensive ones. Stephen

A small assembler with a pair of tweezers maybe? just kidding. There is some table top placement equipment available but I can't remember who or what. Try a Google search for SMT placemnt
