| Pad
clean-up Metcal's
blade tip cartridges may be used with desolder braid to clean up the pads for
both two and four-sided components regardless of the lead configuration or pitch. For
proper wicking, always use the tip by working with the grain of the pad. Never
use a blade to wick by dragging it down the row of pads. The heat combined with
the abrasive action may cause the epoxy holding the land to the board to lift
the pad. Choose
the size of blade tip that best fits the row of pads. For optimum heat delivery,
use the recommended part number below to order. |
