Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electrical equipment technology, in particular to a tool for repairing SOP packaged devices. Background Art
[0002] SOP is a surface mount package with pins extending from both sides of the package in a gull-wing shape. The length of the large device can reach about 40mm and it is a humidity-sensitive device.
[0003] When rework of SOP packaged components, due to the large size of the components and the pins on both sides, conventional soldering irons cannot be used to remove them. A dedicated rework station can only be used. The rework station adopts an overall heating method. Before rework, the entire product to be reworked needs to be dehumidified and baked. The baking conditions are 125°C for 8 to 48 hours, and the device removal time is about 6 minutes per piece. During rework, the components around the reworked area also need to be protected or removed first, and then re-soldered after the SOP packaged component is reworked.
[0004] It can be seen that the traditional rework method has a long cycle and low efficiency due to the lack of suitable tools, and cannot meet the requirements of rapid response. Moreover, if the peripheral devices are not properly protected, there is a risk of damage. Utility Model Content

[0009] The blade of the spade-shaped structure includes a ladder-shaped structure, so that the T-shaped soldering iron tip can fully contact the pins of the SOP package device;
[0010] The cylindrical structure is provided with a blind hole, and the blind hole is used to be connected to the heating core of the electric soldering iron.
[0011] Preferably, the inner diameter of the blind hole is larger than the outer diameter of the heating core at room temperature; and the inner diameter of the blind hole is equal to the outer diameter of the heating core after power is turned on for heating.
[0012] Preferably, an anti-oxidation layer is formed on the outside of the T-shaped soldering iron tip by an electroplating process.
[0013] Preferably, the anti-oxidation layer includes a nickel-plated layer.
[0014] Preferably, the thickness of the nickel plating layer is 6 to 8 microns.
[0015] Preferably, the T-shaped soldering iron tip is made of copper.
[0016] According to the specific embodiments provided by the present invention, the present invention discloses the following technical effects:
[0017] The embodiment of the present application provides a tool for repairing SOP packaged devices, which uses a provided T-shaped soldering iron tip to repair SOP packaged devices. It adopts a local precision heating method. The product to be repaired does not need to be baked to remove moisture, which reduces the baking time by 8 to 48 hours, greatly shortens the repair cycle, and takes about 1 minute per device, which increases the efficiency of taking out devices by 500%. The devices around the part to be repaired do not need to be protected or taken out first and then soldered, which reduces unnecessary actions and reduces the risk of damage.

[0024] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0025] See also Figure 1 , is a SOP package device rework tool provided by the embodiment of the utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the tooling may include:
[0026] A T-shaped soldering iron tip 1, wherein the front end of the T-shaped soldering iron tip 1 forms a flat shovel-shaped structure 11, and the rear end of the T-shaped soldering iron tip 1 forms a cylindrical structure 12;
[0027] The blade 111 of the spade-shaped structure 11 includes a ladder-shaped structure, so that the T-shaped soldering iron tip 1 can fully contact the pins of the SOP package device;
[0028] The cylindrical structure 12 is provided with a blind hole 121 , and the blind hole 121 is used to achieve close connection with the heating core of the electric soldering iron.
[0029] The tooling for rework of SOP packaged devices provided in the embodiment of the present application selects metal materials with good thermal conductivity and wear resistance, designs and manufactures a T-shaped soldering iron tip, and installs the soldering iron tip on the electric soldering iron heating core. The temperature is quickly transferred from the electric soldering iron heating core to the cutting edge of the T-shaped soldering iron tip. The cutting edge of the soldering iron tip can simultaneously contact the pins on both sides of the SOP packaged device, thereby achieving synchronous heating and removing the device.
[0030] In order to ensure that the T-shaped soldering iron tip can be smoothly connected to the heating core of the electric soldering iron, and at the same time ensure stability during use after the connection, the embodiment of the present application can provide that the inner diameter of the blind hole 121 is larger than the outer diameter of the heating core at room temperature; the inner diameter of the blind hole 121 is equal to the outer diameter of the heating core after power is turned on for heating.
[0031] To prevent oxidation of the T-shaped soldering iron tip after prolonged use, embodiments of the present application may provide an anti-oxidation layer formed on the exterior of the T-shaped soldering iron tip 1 using an electroplating process. Furthermore, the anti-oxidation layer includes a nickel plating layer. Furthermore, the nickel plating layer has a thickness of 6 to 8 microns.
[0032] In order to improve the electrical conductivity, heating performance and wear resistance of the T-shaped soldering iron tip, the embodiment of the present application may provide that the material of the T-shaped soldering iron tip 1 is copper.
[0033] The T-shaped soldering iron tip provided in the embodiment of the present application is made of copper material with good thermal conductivity and good wear resistance; the front end of the T-shaped soldering iron tip 1 is a flat shovel-shaped structure, and the rear end is a cylindrical shape. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown. The rear cylindrical structure is designed with a blind hole 121 for installing the soldering iron tip. The soldering iron tip blade is designed to be trapezoidal to ensure good contact between the T-shaped soldering iron tip and the SOP package device pins. Figure 3The design of blind hole 121's dimensions is crucial. Its diameter is slightly larger than the heater core's, ensuring the T-shaped tip 1 can be easily installed on the heater core at room temperature. When the soldering iron is powered on, thermal expansion and contraction ensure close contact between the T-shaped tip 1 and the heater core, preventing the tip from falling off and ensuring good heat transfer. The T-shaped tip 1 is electroplated with nickel, with a thickness of 6 to 8 μm, to prevent metal oxidation. After processing, the temperature loss rate of the T-shaped tip is verified, and the soldering iron temperature is set to meet soldering requirements.
[0034] When in use, tin the pins of the device to be repaired; use two "T-shaped" soldering iron tips to heat the pins on both sides of the device at the same time, so that the solder on the pins on both sides of the device melts simultaneously, and remove the device after the tin on the pins melts.
[0035] In summary, the SOP packaged device rework tool provided in this application uses the provided T-shaped soldering iron tip to rework the SOP packaged device, which is a local precision heating method. The product to be repaired does not need to be baked to remove moisture, reducing the baking time by 8 to 48 hours, greatly shortening the rework cycle, and the device retrieval time is about 1 minute per device, and the device retrieval efficiency is increased by 500%. The devices around the part to be repaired do not need to be protected or removed first and then soldered, reducing unnecessary actions and reducing the risk of damage.
