Process description Fine-Pitch Installation Process description 2 1 1. Install the ERSA PowerWell i-Tip in your i-Tool and set the temperature to 285°C (545°F) to 360°C (680°F). The set temperature depends on the alloy being used – lead free or not. 3 2. Place component and fix two opposing corner pins. 3. Apply flux to the pins on all sides of the SMD. We recommend a No-Clean flux cream, or your approved flux. 4. Clean the entire front position of the ERSA PowerWell i-Tip, including concave, on a damp sponge or on the dry tip sponge. Fill the concave portion of the tip with solder wire, to slightly above the rim. DO NOT OVERFILL THE TIP! 4 5. Holding your i-Tool VERY LIGHTLY in your hand, set the filled tip, with the ERSA PowerWell side parallel to the PCB, down onto the flat exterior portion of the pins. i-Tool and tip should be parallel to the body of the SMD. Slowly pull the ERSA PowerWell across the pins towards you. 5 6 3,5 PowerWell with concave portion The weight and form of the i-Tool and ERSA PowerWell i-Tip are designed to provide 100% joint integrity WITHOUT GUIDANCE and WITHOUT PRESSURE! 6. Repeat steps four and five for the remaining sides of the SMD. Remove flux residue if required. Note: The size of the soldering tip should be adapted to the 5 footlength L and pitch of the lead! © 11.2006 by ERSA, Wertheim, Germany • Subject to alterations Recommended equipment: Type i-CON – single station i-CON2* – double station ERSA PowerWell tips Vacuum pipette SMD-Vampir Vacuum pipette VAC-Pen *ERSA's product range offers further soldering irons, suitable for Fine-Pitch desoldering: Chip tool for SMD removal and X-Tool for standard through-hole desoldering.
