Recall
Site preparation involves issues such as

physical location, power supply requirement, and environmental factors There are various safety considerations, which need to be considered before handling a computer UPS is a device, which is used to provide a steady or uninterrupted supply of current in case of a power failure

Rules for Soldering - I

The rules for soldering are:

Use the right type of soldering iron

Switch 'ON' the soldering iron and wait till it reaches the operating temperature The hot tip has to be kept on a piece of metal to dissipate the excess heat

Release 16/7/2009

Jetking Infotrain Ltd.

Rules for Soldering II

Clean the connection point thoroughly Use enough solder to cover the lead and the copper foil area of the connection Use sufficient heat Check the connection properly Always remember that larger the metal surface, the longer time it will take to heat.

Cautions for Soldering - I

The cautions for soldering are as follows:

Do not use excess solder

Do not use a spread solder on copper foil lines on the PCB Do not sit under a fan while soldering

Position the PCB so that the gravity tends to keep the solder in the desired position

Release 16/7/2009

Cautions for Soldering - II

Do not over heat the components or the PCB Avoid the vibration of PCB or components while soldering Incase of a dry solder, re-weld the joint to get a shiny bright finish

Chip Soldering I
Chip soldering technology is used for connecting the

chip to the PCB through solder joints

The advantages of Chip soldering are:

Improved performance Improved reliability Improved thermal capabilities Low cost

Release 16/7/2009

Chip Soldering - II
The disadvantages of Chip soldering are:

Bumped chips are barely available. Use of PCB is difficult as the pitches become very fine Inspection of hidden joints is difficult Bare chips are difficult to handle Repairing is very difficult

Procedure of Chip Soldering- I

Steps in Chip Soldering process are:

Remove the old chips by pre-heating the board and applying hot air Use braided solder removal flux to lift all old solder off Allow board to cool
Jetking Infotrain Ltd.

Release 16/7/2009

Procedure of Chip Soldering- II

Place new chip on blank pads before applying solder, clean off any old flux residues with alcohol and a brush Apply fresh liquid-substrate silver flux

Pre-heat the board: Turn the pre-heater on and wait for few minutes

Procedure of Chip Soldering- III

Apply Hot Air Test to make sure it's located by gently nudging the chip with tweezers, it should spring back into place Check to make sure the chip is lined up correctly

Right type of soldering iron has to be used for

soldering
Release 16/7/2009 Jetking Infotrain Ltd.

Summary - II
You need to use enough solder to cover the lead and

the copper foil area of the connection

Sufficient heat must be used for the soldering

process
The connection to be soldered has to be clean and

you need to use enough solder to cover the lead and the copper foil area of the connection that has to be soldered
Release 16/7/2009 Jetking Infotrain Ltd.

Summary III
The connection need to be checked properly before

the soldering process begins and you need to use sufficient heat for a good solder
Chip soldering technology is used for connecting the

chip and the supporting material on which a circuit is formed through solder joints
