Soldering Tips
When using the N5441A and N2836A solder-in heads and N5439A ZIF probe
heads, be sure to observe the following guidelines. For more information, refer to
the user’s guide.
• Use a temperature-controlled soldering iron station, if possible.
• Set the temperature of the soldering iron’s tip to between 370° C and 420° C
(for non RoHS standards).
• Use the smallest tip possible.
• Use an optical aid of some sort (microscope preferred).
• Employ minimal dwell times on the solder joint (< 2 seconds).
• Solder only the tip of the wire onto your DUT. The solder should not get close to
the existing solder ball on the tip.
• Use enough flux when soldering the tips into a DUT.
