ASE-4204 ESD-Safe Temperature Controlled Multifunctional Rework Station

Since soldering and rework processes when repairing electronics are usually made sequentially by one specialist it’s obviously convenient to use a universal system combining the features necessary for both operation types.

AKTAKOM ASE-4204 professional multifunction station unites in one block a soldering station and rework equipment. This allows ASE-4204 to occupy a minimal space and organize a high performance work area.

AKTAKOM ASE-4204 soldering and rework station is ESD-safe. This is an important requirement that should be met since the absence of antistatic protection may cause the damage of valuable electronic components with electro static discharge.

ASE-4204 rework station (analog of 852A) has a hot air gun and a soldering iron accordingly. It is especially recommended for work with temperature sensitive electronic components such as IC, QFP, SOP, etc.

Features

How to care and use of the soldering tip?

Tip’s temperature High soldering temperatures can degrade the tip. Use the lowest possible soldering temperature. The excellent thermal recovery characteristics ensure efficient and effective soldering event at low temperatures. This also protects the sensitive components from thermal damage. Cleaning Clean the tip regularly with a cleaning sponge, as oxides and carbides from the solder and flux can form impurities on the tip. These impurities can result in defective joints or reduce the tip's heat conductivity. When using the soldering iron continuously, be sure to loosen the tip and remove all oxides least once a week. This helps prevent reduction of the tip temperature. When not in use Never leave the soldering iron sitting at high temperature for long periods of time, as the tip's solder plating will be covered with oxide, which can greatly reduce the tip's heat conductivity. After use Wipe the tip and coat it with fresh solder. This helps to prevent tip oxidation. Up

How to clean the tip?

Caution! Never file the tip to remove oxide. Set the temperature to 250°C. When the temperature stabilizes, clean the tip with the cleaning sponge and check the condition of the tip. If there is black oxide on the solder-plated portion of the tip, apply new solder (containing flux) and wipe the tip on the cleaning sponge. Repeat until the oxide is completely removed. Coat with new solder. The solder protects the tip from oxidation and prolongs the life of the tip. If the tip is deformed or heavily eroded, replace it with a new one. Up

Why a «de-tinned» tip fails to work?

A de-tinned tip is one which cannot wet with solder. This exposes the plating to oxidation and degrades the heat transfer efficiency of the tip. The de-tinning is caused by: 1) Failure to keep the tip covered with fresh solder while not in use. 2) High tip temperatures. 3) Insufficient melting in soldering operations. 4) Wiping the tip on dirty or dry sponges and rags (Always use a clean, wet, industrial grade, sulfur-free sponge). 5) Impurities in the solder, iron plating, or on the surfaces to be soldered. Up

What temperature should use for soldering?
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. Note: if clots form, the temperature is too low. Up

Dado que los procesos de soldadura blanda en la reparación de componentes electrónicos generalmente se realizan de forma secuencial por un especialista, obviamente es conveniente utilizar un sistema universal que combine las características necesarias para ambos tipos de operaciones.

La estación multifuncional profesional AKTAKOM ASE-4204 une en una cuadra una estación de soldadura y equipo de retrabajo. Esto permite que ASE-4204 ocupe un espacio mínimo y organice un área de trabajo de alto rendimiento.

La estación de soldadura y aire caliente AKTAKOM ASE-4204 es segura para ESD. Este es un requisito importante que debe cumplirse ya que la ausencia de protección antiestática puede causar daños a componentes electrónicos valiosos con descargas electrostáticas.

La estación de soldadura y aire caliente ASE-4204 tiene una pistola de aire caliente y un soldador en consecuencia. Se recomienda especialmente para trabajar con componentes electrónicos sensibles a la temperatura, como IC, QFP, SOP, etc.

Caracteristicas

• 2 en 1 estación de soldadura y aire caliente
• El volumen y la temperatura se pueden ajustar para soldar IC, QFP, SOP.
• ESD-seguro. Adecuado para trabajar con componentes sensibles a la estática.
• Elemento de calefacción de alta calidad que se puede reemplazar fácilmente
• La temperatura se puede ajustar fácilmente
• El indicador parpadeará rápidamente cuando la temperatura alcance el valor deseado.
• El ventilador seguirá funcionando por un momento después de que termine su trabajo y apague la estación. Esto puede alargar la vida útil del calentador y el mango.
