Procedure
1. Set a tip temperature of 343°C (650°F) for lead-free
or 316°C (600°F) for leaded alloys and adjust as
necessary.
2. Install selected Mini-Wave®tip into the TD-100 using
Tip Tool.
3. Position the component ensuring proper lead-to-land
alignment. Hold the component in place using the
HandiPik®or tweezers.
4. Apply flux and tack solder opposing corner leads.
5. Apply flux to ALL lead/land areas.
6. Clean tip on Tip & Tool Stand sponge.
7. Apply solder to the cupped portion of tip to create a
convex bead of molten solder.
8. Position Mini-Wave®tip so the solder bead contacts
the top portion of leads. Slowly move tip over one row
of leads to form proper solder fillets at each joint.
9. Repeat steps 6 through 8 on remaining sides of
component.
10. Re-tin Mini-Wave®tip with solder. Return TD-100 to
its Tip & Tool Stand.
