This step-by-step reference provides an accurate and state-of-the-art approach to the production and/or repair of electronics equipment. This "how to" guide presents procedures and follows up with exercises to cover the basics of hand soldering, wiring and the components of successful repairs. Very easy to read and follow, this handbook is a must for technicians, assembly-line personnel, technologists, QA and repair supervisors, and professionals designing electronic equipment for mass production.
Straightforward and easy to understand, the Sixth Edition of Quality Hand Soldering and Circuit Board Repair has been thoroughly revised to provide students with the most up to date information in the industry. Focusing on the production and repair of circuit boards, this text begins with the basics of soldering and the requirements for a reliable solder connection. Students are then guided through a variety of circuit board repairs, from conformal coating identification and removal to different types of track/pad repairs, burn repairs, and edge connector repairs. With safety tips and multiple opportunities for review and practice, this step by step reference book provides students with the skills and knowledge needed to remain competitive and in accordance with international standards. Important Notice: Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.
"An Introduction to High Reliability Soldering and Circuit Board Repair" introduces the novice technician to soldering and board repair. Little or no prior knowledge of electronics is required to make effective use of this book. The book is written as a 1st semester course in electronics. Basic tools are used as much as possible. The text briefly explains the fundamental elements of electronics; voltage, current, and resistance. Wires, splicing techniques, types of solders and fluxes, jumper wire, and tools are covered. The installation and removal of through-hole and surface mount components along with industry standards are presented. The learner is also presented with various techniques to repair single and double-sided printed circuit boards.
This book is suited to the absolute beginner who's looking to get started with soldering, and circuit board repair. whether this be for your own enjoyment and a sense of self-accomplishment or perhaps even to make some extra cash as a side business... This friendly, practical guide takes you from evaluating the material to the step-by-step process, and everything in between. Plus, you'll get easy-to-follow guidance on how to apply finishing techniques and advice on how to adhere to safety procedures.

Soldering Handbook for Printed Circuits and Surface Mounting, Second Edition, covers every aspect of this packaging technology, and contains the latest information on design, presolder operations, materials, equipment, surface mount technology, cleaning, quality and inspection, touch-up and repair, process economy, line management, and more.
Apart from physical damage, component failure is the most common reason why PCBs need repair and rework. Component failure may be the result of low-quality dislodging, or ageing of components. A bad PCB layout, however, is the most common cause. Power failure, overheated parts, and burned components may result from a poor design. PCB rework is the process of making changes to or fixing flaws on a printed circuit board after it has already been produced or assembled. This may require anything from changing components to cleaning up excess solder to fixing broken traces or pads. Circuit board rework is a crucial step in electronics production because it allows manufacturers to address any issues with their final products, before they reach the end user. In Electronics, defects leading to rework may include: Poor solder joints because of faulty assembly or thermal cycling. Solder bridges—unwanted drops of solder that connect points that should be isolated from each other. Faulty components. Engineering parts changes, upgrades, etc. Components broken due to natural wear, physical stress or excessive current. Components damaged due to liquid ingress, leading to corrosion, weak solder joints or physical damage. Surface mount technology (SMT) rework and through hole technology (THT) rework are the two most common forms of the printed circuit board (PCB) rework. Surface mount technology, or SMT, refers to small, flat components that are soldered directly onto the surface of a printer
The printed circuit industry has achieved maturity and universal accep tance. No known interconnection technology threatens to render it obso lete in the foreseeable future. It offers two unique advantages that are important for any assembly technology: quality (reliability) and economy. The mode of component attachment to printed circuit boards, however, is undergoing a radical change. Technical and economic pressures are forcing the industry to convert some or all of its assembly to surface mounting techniques. We are moving away from the traditional large through-the-hole connection with its mechanical security. It is being re placed by a small surface butt and/or lap joint, sometimes with no added mechanical support to the solder. This change requires a complete reas sessment of design, production, and inspection techniques. A major por tion of this book is devoted to the changes imposed by surface mounting. This recent development is an extension of the established hybrid (thick and thin-film) industry. Yet when it is applied to conventional printed circuits, there are major differences. One must view the printed circuit board as a planar surface designed to provide interconnections between electronic devices. The electronic in dustry is using them for mass-production techniques to join discrete, integrated, and special components (leaded and leadless). This book ap plies to all board variations including single-sided, double-sided, multi layer, and flexible circuits.
The goal of this tutorial is to teach beginners the basics for a perfect welding of an electronic circuit. Being a very practical argument we preferred a visual approach built on a fair use of images, rather than an overly discursive dissertation. The practicality of this guide is also reflected in the use of the LCD display 1602A, the component that we chose for this tutorial and that's also very common in a variety of Arduino based projects. It is also robust enough to fit a beginner's needs.
