Don't forget the possibility of causing component damage in addition to board damage. Reworking a ceramic capacitor with a hot iron can cause microcracks in teh capacitor. You probably won't find those until much later in the process, maybe even in

Grant, The best rule is- "If it works don't touch it". What I mean is check your component datasheet. Max allowed temperature should be there. You know the profile of your reflow oven and the temperature reached during reflow. So if there is no conf

we have has to alter some footprints to facilitate component rework/removal. We have some assemlies that have 2 oz and heavier copper, these boards require a lrger tip to melt solder so we have had to extend pads to allow the larger tips to touch pa

Very broad topic. Designers own design. Manufacturing engineers can suggest design changes based on DFM, DFX DFA analysis. These are suggested, so the board is manufacturable with very low to no rework. Both design and manufacturing have their expert

We are having issues with solder flooding some through hole pin receptacles which have an organic fiber plug on the soldering end. Anyone else use these types of receptacles and soldering with selective solder. Appears the plugs may be not sealed w

Dear Dave, I have a "possible" solution to your problem, though I have never tried it myself. If you're trying to come up with a non-abrasive technique for removing solder-keep reading. If it's a faster method you desire, do yourself a favor and hi
