	Video Demonstrations & Presentations The Best Solution for SMD, SMT, BGA Rework and Repair and PCB Preheating

	Videos: How to Solder & De-Solder & Preheat BGA's, SMD's, QFN's & More.

Video: The Science of High Quality, Low Temp Soldering & De-Soldering: Video introduces essential PCB benchtop tools, technique and the break-through, low temperature science of Zephyrtronics In this video, learn how to successfully place, remove, rework and repair innumerable SMD's and Thru-Hole devices including ceramic capacitors, glass diodes, flex circuits and resistors without damage to the substrate, its pads, traces or the chips...when the "science" is on your side!

Using animation and charts, the video teaches the 3 critical thermal zones that impact PCB's during production and how these same 3 zones apply to PCB's at a bench in prototyping, rework/repair. After the video, visit our Systems Guide for more details. Duration: 9 minutes.

Video: The 4 PCB Preheat Methods. This comparative video juxtaposes the 4 current methods of preheating PCB's spotlighting their drawbacks and advantages. The viewer sees use of hot plates, infrared (IR) preheating, industrial ovens and the popular bottom-side forced convection (AirBaths™) along with comparative charts and graphs.

The video clearly demonstrates why bottom-side, forced convection method became the first choice of electronic manufacturers around the globe, why it is more effective and better suited to PCB prototyping, rework and low volume production runs when soldering & desoldering SMD, BGA, QFN & Thru-Hole chips. Duration: 9 minutes.

Video: The ABC's of PCB Holders: This comparative video details the advantages, versatility of our ABC Series of Adjustable Board Cradles over other PCB fixtures. and shows pitfalls and limitations of inferior holders, how they punish PCB techs waste time (money) and hurt productivity at the bench during PCB prototyping & rework.

Witness the eyebrow-raising and uncanny multiple functions and utilities that made the ABC Series the most popular PCB holders on the planet for nearly 20 years.

As you will see, there's a lot more than what first meets the eye with these transforming ABC Board Cradles. Duration: 4 minutes.

Video: BGA DeSoldering & Removal Demonstration With NASA Commentary This short informative video demonstrates quality and ease of soldering, desoldering, and BGA removal in less than 5 minutes. Thermal profiling is taught with ramp, preheat, soak and final solder reflow, plus removal of a BGA, QFN, CSP or any SMD.

Video shows board prep, fluxing, chip alignment, soldering, desoldering & PCB clean-up after chip removal. The video shows quality PCB inspection. Viewer witnesses desoldering a BGA as it actually lifts off the PCB...hands-free! Photos and observations from NASA included in video. Afterward, see ZT-7 WebPage for more details. 10 minutes.

Video: How to Place & Solder SMD's With Solder Paste & a Hot Air Pencil. A "how to" video familiarizes the viewer with actual placing and soldering SMD's using a Hot AirPencil and Solder Paste. Video shows traditional 63/37 solder paste, but RoHS lead-free solder works equally well.

Importance of ramping, preparing the PCB, applying solder paste, hot air reflow of the SMD, clean-up & inspection. See how easy using solder paste instead of solder wire is. All equipment, tools and supplies shown in video are included in any of our popular Zephyrtronics Systems. Video: 5 minutes

Video: Remove SMD Chip Quick @ 150°C This short video demonstrates how to de-solder and remove SMD's in less than 3 minutes through the synergy of LowMelt® Desolder & AirBath Preheaters. Technicians can confidently remove SMT chip (QFP's, PLCC's, SOIC's SOL's SOJ's & sockets) without specialty nozzles at below 150°C!

Learn how to remove any chip quickly without burning boards, lifting pads or chip damage. through the Science of Zephyrtronics™ now utilized daily by NASA, Motorola, Hewlett-Packard and the Department of Defense. For more details, see our Systems Guide. Video: 5 minutes.
