SMT Repair: How to Rework Defective PCB Assemblies
SMT repair (rework) involves removing and replacing faulty surface mount components without damaging the board. SMTFullLine provides rework stations, hot air tools, and training for efficient repair.
Common SMT Repair Scenarios
Misaligned or tombstoned components – Reflow and reposition.
Bridged solder joints – Remove excess solder with desoldering braid.
Damaged or wrong component – Desolder, clean pads, place new component.
