Micron® 1300W Hot Air SMD Rework Station
QFP (QUAD FLAT PACKAGE) DE-SOLDERING FOR ICS
1. Melt the solder: Hold the iron so that the nozzle is located directly over but not touching the IC, and
allow the hot air to melt the solder. Be careful not to touch the leads of the IC with the nozzle.
2. Remove the IC: Once the solder has melted, remove the IC by lifting it out with the pliers
(tweezers). NOTE: For SOIC, PLCC etc., please use tweezers to desolder.
3. Turn the power switch off: After the power is switched off, an automatic blowing function begins send-
ing cool air through the pipe, in order to cool both the heating element and the handle. So do not discon-
nect the plug during this cooling process.
NOTE: About a minute after the power is switched off, the temperature will drop to 75°C (167°
F), and the power will automatically shut off.
4. Remove any remaining solder: After removing the IC, clean the remaining solder chips with a wick or
desoldering tool.
QFP SOLDERING
1. Apply the solder paste: Apply the proper quantity of solder paste and flux (preferably no-clean) and
place the SMD on the PCB.
2. Preheat SMD.
3. Soldering: Heat the lead frame evenly.
4. Washing: When soldering is completed, wash the area with a defluxer.
NOTE: While there are many advantages of hot air SMD rework, it is also possible to have defects
for soldering BGA. It is recommended that all soldering joints be closely inspected.
To meet RoHS (European requirement for lead-free solder), the 60/40 solder alloys are not allowed
in the production process. The RoHS lead-free solder alloys require a working temperature of
about 30°C (54°F) higher than typical 60/40 lead/tin soldering.
GENERAL CLEANING
The outer cover of the iron and station may be cleaned with a damp cloth using small amounts of
liquid detergent. Never submerse the unit in liquid or allow any liquid to enter the case of the station.
Never use any solvent to clean the case.
