"I don't really give any information out..." WHAT??? The title of the vid is "Temperatures to Use When Repairing Logic Boards". Maybe it varies, but how about giving us a ballpark? Totally useless video.

@gudimetlakowshik3617 3 жыл бұрын

came here to exactly comment the same. He basically re-phrased whatever we know already. Everyone know how we shouldn't apply much heat to plastic connectors, but atleast let us know what's the sweetspot we could achieve in order to not damage the board. useless video.

Why is this such a secret? I see vids of, say 0805 resistors being soldered, but when asked what temp either no answer is forthcoming or "it depends". How about a temp for the specific case shown in the vid.

Whit best station 1200w ... 340 - 380 C air flow 40 - 60 .... Little vomponet small nosle more big connect more big nosle ... Start whit 340 and 50 air flow and play rise up little for bigger or difficult componet ... Use flux in star preheat to meet flux count 2 3 sec and proced let's flux to tale jobs close the nosle in start far of the bord to preheat bord and melt flux and after close the nosle 3 -4 cm to finish the job ... sorry for my English it's not good

A more helpful answer would be objective temperature ranges for melting leaded and non-leaded solders as well as what temps are damaging to various types of components. You could caveat that with a warning about calibrating your hot air station or using an external tool to verify temps.

@zettkusanagi6322 2 жыл бұрын

I do like your suggestion. Objective temperature melting for whatever you are using is key. I know my tools say so-and-so temp, but if its not melting it, then one of the two is lying to me.

@addmendinc9656 3 жыл бұрын

He won't tell you, B.S!! Afraid to loose business??! it's common information any way, you'll find it on google: Turn on the soldering iron and set temperature above the melting point of your solder. 600°- 650°F (316°- 343°C) is a good place to start for lead-based solder and 650°- 700°F (343°- 371°C) for lead-free solder. Hold the tip against both the lead and contact point/pad for a few seconds. As to the heat station, move the heat nozzle in a circular fashion or any fashion just avoid keeping the heat on one spot for more than 1 second per spot typically less than that !

The fact that you couldnt even throw out general numbers for solder to melt at, or at least give us the numbers you use, blows my mind.

Good advice. The extra links are helpful also for people not knowing what they need. Temperatures vary greatly with the type of solder and board. Experiment, like he said, on a practice board and you'll know your temperature. You can google the base settings and your skilled or unskilled technique determines how long and at what temperature works best for you. There is NO perfect temperature. I've been soldering for +40 years. Each circuit board is different and must be treated differently. If you worked on only one item, say mac book pro's, that person would know what temperature works best on those only. Circuit boards also come in different thicknesses, the thicker the board, the higher the temperature may be needed for the through hole passages. Soldering is a technique best left to skilled electronic technicians, otherwise fixing your screw ups is not something we like to do and we do love to charge a premium to correct your mistakes.

Hi, no solder experience but want to try to reattach a Mac Pro bluetooth socket to the logic board. Any advice?

@triafffii Ай бұрын

The lead free solder melt at 218 C. The tricky part is getting the board to that temperature. For tiny board 250 C is enough. For mobile board, it is 350 C. For large gaming boards it is 420 - 450 C. Sometimes a preheater is needed for large chips like CPU with 25/75 heat split where the lower heater rises the board temperature to 168 C and the top heater and rises the heat to 220 C. These numbers will work with hot air stations with internal blower turbine of 120L/min like Quick 700w or 1000w. Weaker hot air stations like 350w stations would work but only for smaller boards. The point is, these are numbers. Get yourself an Atten or Quick and start experimenting.

TL,DW: Try it out on a scrape board and find the temperature that works best for you, because each soldering equipment reacts different to temperatures.

@angelo_79 3 жыл бұрын

That depends on the model of the air station, I in particular use to make reballing from 380 to 400 celsius, I have been using that temperature for several years and I have never damaged any component in China, the technicians use air stations for less than $ 20 and they work at 500celsius.

2:20 Wait wait wait wait.... This doesn't make any sense... Are you telling me that when the screen on the Quick861D displays 500c and the airflow is 100❄that this is somehow DIFFERENT from another model that reads 500c /100❄? That's not logical. If the element just happens to be failing, why would that have any bearing on the thermostat and it's accuracy to project the correct temperature on screen? Am I wrong in thinking 500c is 500c?

Now this the case, I have a Asus gamer computer with a mosfet on short circuit. The thing is, I try to remove the Mosfet using 400 Celsius degress with the max air speed without success. I am waithing for low melting solder and a special flux. My soldering station power is 700 watts. What do you think? Maybe I need to buy a 1000 watts ot air station? Best Regards.

False information. Temperature is PID controlled on the 861DW. The thermocouple is not going to be off by more than 5%, and the airflow is from a fan with a rate speed also closely sensed. Bottom line your information is false.

Soldering temperature is not rocket science. Start with 700F (370C) 60/40 solder 750F (400C) lead free solder. Adjust to your liking depending on the project and particular soldering iron.
