Welcome to Zephyrtronics! The World's First Low Temp Approach
to the Electronic Benchtop.
Your Best Solution for SMD, SMT, BGA Rework & Repair and PCB Preheating
How to Solder & De-Solder & Preheat BGA's, SMD's, QFN's & More.
Video:
BGA DeSoldering & Removal
Demonstration With NASA Commentary:
This
short, but superb video demonstrates how easy it
is to de-solder and remove any Ball Grid Array
device in less than 5 minutes and introduces the
ZT-7000 Comprehensive BGA, SMD, QFN Hot Air
Benchtop System. Thermal profiling is taught
including ramping, preheating, soaking and final
reflow and removal of a BGA, QFN, CSP or any SMT
device. The demonstration includes board prep
before rework including fluxing, aligning, the desoldering process and cleaning the PCB after
chip removal.
The video
also touches on quality inspection of the PCB after
rework. The viewer witnesses the BGA's solder reflow as
it actually lifts off the PCB! Additional
photographs and observations from NASA are included in
this helpful video. After the video, visit our
ZT-7000 Product Page
for greater details and specifications on this amazing
system.

SMD Placement &
Soldering With a Hot Air Pencil & Solder Paste.
This short video familiarizes the viewer with an actual
placing and soldering of an SMD device using a
ZT-2 Hot AirPencil
and
Solder Paste.
(Note: This video shows the traditional 63/37 solder
paste, but the RoHS lead-free alloys also work just as
well. Importance of Ramping, Preparing the PCB, Applying
Solder Paste, Hot Air Reflow of the SMD, Clean-Up &
Inspection. For those interested is "seeing" how
easy it is to use solder paste at the bench instead of
solder wire, this is the video demonstrations that
you've been waiting for.
And you
will like this: all equipment, tools and supplies shown
in the video are included in any of our popular
Zephyrtronics Systems.

Video: Low
Cost SMD Removal Below 150°C in Less Than 3 Minutes!
This
short video demonstrates how to de-solder and remove any
SMD device in less than 3 minutes through the
synergistic combination of
LowMelt®
DeSolder Wire and the
AirBath Preheating Systems.
Now any technician can confidently remove any SMT
component (QFP's, PLCC's, SOIC's SOL's SOJ's SMD
Sockets) without expensive and individualized, specialty
nozzles and at only 150°C!
Learn how to
remove any chip quickly without ever burning a board,
lifting a pad or damaging your
component.
Just more of the exciting Science of
Zephyrtronics™ that is now utilized daily by
NASA, Motorola, Hewlett-Packard and the
Department of Defense. After the video, visit

Video: The Science
of High Quality, Low Temp Soldering &
De-Soldering at the Bench:
This video is an introduction to essential
benchtop tools and to the break-through, low
temperature approach and theory behind the
Zephyrtronics systems. In this video you
will learn about the science that has allowed
technicians all over the world to successfully
place, remove, rework and repair innumerable
SMD's and Thru-Hole Devices including ceramic
capacitors, glass diodes, flex circuits and
resistors without ever damaging the substrate,
its pads, traces or the chips. Damage-free
processing PCB's at the bench is achievable when
the "science" is on your side!
Using
animation and useful charts, the video teaches
the three critical thermal zones that encompass
nearly every PCB assembly during its production
and how those same three zones relate to all
processing of PCB's at the bench whether in
prototyping and design, rework and repair, or
even in low volume production runs. After the
video, visit our
Systems Guide & Directory
for greater details and specifications.

The Four Methods
of Preheating Printed Circuit Board Assy's:
This helpful and comparative video juxtaposes
the four current methods of preheating printed
circuit board assemblies (PCB's) and spotlights
the drawbacks and advantages of some methods
over others. The viewer will see the use of hot
plates, infrared (IR) preheating, industrial
ovens and the more popular bottom-side forced
convection (AirBaths™)
along with charts and graphs that showcase the
distinctions between these methods.
The
video clearly demonstrates why the bottom-side,
forced convection method became the first choice
of electronic manufacturers around the globe,
why it is more effective and better suited to
PCB prototyping, rework and low volume
production runs. Video Duration: 9
minutes.

ABC Key Advantages:
This helpful and comparative video details the
many advantages, utilities and the unparalleled
versatility of our
ABC Series of Adjustable
Board Cradles over all other PC
Board fixtures and holders.
This is a truth-telling video that pulls no
punches and demonstrates the serious pitfalls
and limitations of other inferior approaches and
how they actually punish the PCB technician,
waste time (money) and hurt productivity at the
benchtop during PCB prototyping, rework and
repair.
The
short video spotlights the eyebrow-raising and
uncanny amount of multiple functions and
utilities that have made the ABC Series the most
popular PC board fixtures on the planet for
nearly twenty years. There's a lot more than
just meets the eye when it comes to the amazing
and transforming ABC Adjustable Board Cradles.
