There are four stages developed to allow proper reflow of the target
device.Followthesestepstoachieveproperconvectionstylereworking.
Stage1:Preheating
1. Preparetheunittobeworkedupononastableelevatedsurface.Awork

mended.Useapreheatingstationifappropriate.
2. ApplysolderpastetoPCBpads.
3. Settheairflowlevelat50.
4. Setthetemperaturetoabout270degreesCelsius.
5. Hold the hot air gun vertically on top of the target device,leaving ap
proximately 3 cm of space between the mouthpieceof the hot air gun
andthetargetdevice.
6. Liftthehotairgun.

Stage3:ReflowSoldering
1. TheentirePCBwouldbearound180to200°Cafterstage2.
2. We would need to lower the hot air gun nozzle another 0.5 cm. This
wouldincreasetheeffectivetemperatureto220to260°C.
3. Continuethereflowbutlimitthemotiononthetargetdevice.
4. ThesolderpastewouldmeltandbondthetargetdevicetothePCB.
5. Normalreflowtimeisaround30to90seconds.
