Hi I have done microsoldering before and had no problems with components not sticking but this time I am having no luck what so ever Does anyone have a solution for this It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help me with this one because I have done what I know Used the correct tip for the job Used flux Tinned the pads Used the correct temperature Thanks:-)
Hi I found tinning the components would help make things a bit easier Perhaps they just needed a head start to want to stick ? Thanks to everyone who has helped me @oldturkey03 @danj @arbaman @imicrosoldering @flannelist And lemerise(sorry It wouldn’t let me put a @ for that one) Thanks again:-)
The solution for this is “more heat” One of the first things you need to learn when starting microsoldering is “ground plain” and its effects. For the component you have showing I would be using an iron to tin the pads so they are puffy and then use hot air to place the component.
Make sure you thin the two pads with a nice amount of solder then add a small amount of flux. Heat the pads with hot air and when you see the solder liquify just drop the capacitor on the pads using tweezers. On a Qwick hot air station I use 430 with 50-60 air flow for a 0201 component. BTW check the black IC near this location I think there’s a bridge on two pins.
