10.1.1 Component Replacement
Surface mount components
Surface mount components should always be replaced using a temperature controlled soldering system.
The soldering tools may be either a temperature controlled soldering iron or a temperature controlled
A
With either soldering system, the component manufacturer’s recommended temperature should be maintained.
The following procedures outline the removal and replacement of surface mount components. If a
CAUTION: Avoid applying heat to the body of any surface mount component using standard soldering method. Heat should be applied only to the metalised terminals of the components.
CAUTION: The CMOS integrated circuit devices used in this equipment can be destroyed by static discharges.
Before handling any of these devices, service technicians should discharge themselves by touching the case of a bench test instrument that has a
When soldering or desoldering a CMOS device, the soldering equipment should have a known good earth ground.
Surface mount removal
1.Grip the component with tweezers or sill needle nose pliers.
2.Alternately heat the metalised terminal ends of the surface mount component with the soldering iron. If a hot- air system is used, direct the heat to the terminals of the component.
10.SPARE PARTS & MAINTENANCE POLICY - Page
SP200/210
Use extreme care with the soldering equipment to prevent damage to the printed circuit board (PCB) and the surrounding components.
3.When the solder on all terminals is liquefied, gently remove the component. Excessive force may cause the PCB pads to separate from the board if all solder is not completely liquefied.
4.It may be necessary to remove excess solder using a vacuum
It may be necessary to remove the epoxy adhesive that was under the surface mount component and any flux on the PCB.
Surface mount component replacement
1.“Tin” one terminal end of the new component and the corresponding pad of the PCB. Use as little solder as possible.
2.Place the component on the PCB pads, observing proper orientation for capacitors, diodes, transistors, etc.
3.Simultaneously touch the “tinned” terminal end and the “tinned” pad with the soldering iron. Slightly press the component down on the board as the solder liquefies.
Solder all terminals, allowing the component time to cool between each
application of heat.
Do not apply heat for an excessive length of time and do not use excessive solder.
With a
CAUTION: Some chemicals may damage the internal and external plastic parts of the radio.
4.Allow the component and the board to cool and then remove all flux from the area using alcohol or another approved flux remover.
