Video Demonstration Tutorial: How to Properly Solder & Rework PCB's With Ramp, Preheat, Soak and Quality Soldering
Technical Videos for PC Board Soldering & DeSoldering
Basic Soldering Equipment for PCB Prototyping & Rework

The Science Behind Successful PCB Prototyping, Rework & Repair at the Bench
Video:  How to Solder and Desolder at the Bench.

Video introduction to the low temperature benchtop approach and process used with Zephyrtronics Systems.  Learn how to successfully solder, desolder, rework and repair Surface Mount and Thru-Hole Devices as well as resistors, glass diodes, flex circuits and ceramic capacitors.

Critical for all techs who build prototype PCB's or who perform rework and repair.

Video demonstrates three critical thermal zones PCB's  must undergo while being processed at the bench.

 

Other PCB Soldering & DeSoldering Videos

The 4 primary ways of PCB preheating are compared with their advantages and drawbacks for the viewer.  This video is required viewing before purchasing any PCB Pre-heater that may not be best suited for your own PCB soldering and de-soldering needs.

Video details the advantages, versatility and utilities of adjustable PC board fixtures over other PC Board  holders.  Video spotlights the unprecedented multiple functions and utilities of the most popular PC Board fixtures on the planet for 20 years.

 

Video highlights really quick, easy process for desoldering and removing Ball Grid Array devices and demonstrates a hot air rework system.  Video shows preheating, ramping, soaking and final reflow and removal of any BGA, QFN and SMT devices.

 

Video of live demonstration of soldering surface mount devices (SMD) onto printed circuit board assemblies (PCB) using solder paste instead of solder wire and a hot air pencil in place of a soldering iron.

 

How to use LowMelt® for SMD removal. Live video demonstration of actual component removal at under 150°C (300°F).  No damaged chips, lifted pads or hurt to PC Boards. No soldering irons, no hot tweezers, no desoldering tools, just a small preheater.
