Pad, Land and Conductor Repair The Professional Repair Kit is the most complete circuit board repair kit you'll find anywhere.
It's the total package. Includes replacement circuits that do not use messy liquid adhesives for bonding, eyelets and setting tools for plated hole repair, tracks to repair damaged circuit traces, adhesives and color agents for solder mask and board repair.
You'll appreciate the accuracy of this precision machine, especially when repairing surface mount and BGA pads. The system has a built-in calibration gauge to maintain a regulated bonding force and a digital temperature controller to maintains a uniform temperature throughout the 30-second replacement circuit bonding cycle. This kit includes dry film, adhesive-backed circuit frames for repair of lands and surface mount pads, tracks for conductor repair, adhesives and color agents for base board repair. This mid-priced kit includes most everything you need to repair damage to assembled circuit boards, except for plated hole repair. This kit includes the tools and materials needed to reliably repair or replace damaged lands, surface mount and BGA pads. The unique Circuit Frames have a dry film adhesive backing.
This kit is specifically designed to make the surface mount pad and land repair process as simple and reliable as possible. It's now easier than ever to repair damaged circuits. Circuit Tracks are rectangular shaped conductors made of pure copper. These rectangular ribbons closely conform to the original conductor dimensions.
The replacement Circuit Track is bonded in place using pre-packaged epoxy included in the kit. Kit includes the tools and materials to replace damaged lands, surface mount and BGA pads. The replacement pads and conductors are bonded to the circuit board surface using liquid epoxy supplied with the kit.
Kit is designed for Aerospace applications where out-gassing of epoxy may be an issue. Imagine replacing damaged surface mount pads, lands and conductors without using messy liquid epoxy, with a bond strength equal to the original, in just a few minutes. Circuit Frames with dry-film adhesive backing make this IPC recommended procedure fast and easy meeting the highest conformance level.

Bonding Tips fit into the hand held Bonding Iron or Circuit Bonding System. The bottom machined surface of each Bonding Tip is used to apply heat and pressure to bond adhesive backed replacement lands, pads and edge contacts to a circuit board surface. They are machined from high grade aluminum. Plated Hole Repair This kit includes all the tools and materials you need to repair damaged plated through holes in circuit boards. The kit includes a eight packages of various eyelet sizes to handle a wide range of common plated through hole repairs, carbide ball mills for drilling, and setting tools to properly form the eyelets in place.
This rugged, heavy duty press precisely forms eyelets in circuit boards for repair or assembly ensuring the elelets meet industry guidelines. A wide variety of eyelets and tooling are available to meet most circuit board plated hole repair and rework needs. This Eyelet Press will deliver years of maintenance-free reliable production. Even in today's high tech world, circuit boards very often require repair of plated through holes using eyelets. CircuitMedic Eyelets are manufactured from solid brass or copper and electroplated with tin. Hand Tools and Eyelet presses are available for setting eyelets into circuit boards to meet industry specifications. Gold Contact Repair Repairing gold contacts on circuit boards is delicate work.
This kit makes the process easier and more reliable. The replacement circuits in this kit have a dry film, adhesive backing that is activated and cured with heat. This IPC recommended repair method restores your boards to their original level of performance and reliability.
Here's the perfect kit for replating solder-contaminated or damaged gold edge contacts. The kit includes a DC power supply and all the tools and materials needed for gold edge contact plating. The kit also includes 1 oz containers of Gold, Nickel and Electroclean plating solutions, plus pre-wrapped, screw-on plating anodes.
Base Board and Solder Mask Repair Yes, circuit boards do on occasion get damaged. They get burned, scratched, cracked, and beat up.
This kit includes epoxies and color agents to repair base board material, solder mask and coatings. The epoxy is precisely measured out into two-compartment plastic packages so there's no measuring. This kit contains ten packages of clear, low viscosity, superior strength epoxy, precisely measured out into two-compartment plastic packages so there's no measuring. Circuit Bond can be used to bond replacement conductors, repair burns, repair solder mask, and many other high strength, high temperature applications. Color Agent is a one part, air-drying, semi-paste ink commonly used for printing on hard surfaces including circuit board base materials.
Color Agents are supplied in squeeze tubes and can be used to tint the color of epoxy used for solder mask repair or circuit base board repair. Machining, drilling and grinding This versatile tool is ideal for milling, drilling, grinding, cutting and sanding circuit boards. Use it to remove coatings, cuts circuits, cuts leads, drills holes, and performs many other procedures using various interchangeable bits. This dental quality instrument give the operator precise control.
Machining abrasive circuit board material requires the proper cutting tools. All Ball Mlls are carbide-tipped for clean cutting and long life. The ball mills, abrasives and cutting tools from Circuit Medic have been field tested and specially selected for the demands of intricate and delicate circuit board work. Rework Kits and Products This kit includes all the tools and materials you need to protect heat sensitive areas of an assembled circuit board from excessive heat exposure during rework operations. Ideal for the protection of adjacent components at risk of collateral heat damage during hot gas surface mount and BGA rework. Clean up your act when bonding wires.
Wire Dots make the job of bonding jumper wires neat and fast. Wire Dots are a wire tacking system consisting of pre-cut shapes of a thin, flexible polymer film coated on one side with a high performance, electronics grade permanent pressure sensitive adhesive. If you've been using metal stencils for BGA rework, we have some great news for you. Flextac Rework Stencils are flexible solder paste stencils laser cut from high quality, anti-static polymer film with a residue-free adhesive backing. Because they're self-sticking, no tape or fixturing is needed.
Training and Practice Are your new soldering and rework operators skilled enough to work on your valuable products? Have they practiced enough prior to attempting to obtain IPC certification? The best way to find out is let them work on real-life projects until they develop the expertise they need, you decide when they're ready.
This kit will help operators brush up on their circuit board repair skills, and give them a advantage toward becoming IPC certified. Includes a circuit board with a variety of plated holes, surface mount pads, replacement circuit tracks, eyelets, adhesives and more. Features July 18, 2018 In the world of rework and repair there can never be a standard procedure for every emergency. Things can happen too quickly and 'on-the-spot' there can be an urgent. July 18, 2018 One of my favorite circuit board repair procedures is Plated Hole Repair.
Even in today's high tech world there are still thousands of circuit boards being used made with through hole. June 6, 2018 What happens when a BGA socket is phased out, but the solder mask is not updated. Solder mask is not needed for sockets, but essential when soldering BGA components directly.
