Utilize specialized tools and equipment for reworking surface-mount components, including BGA (Ball Grid Array) and fine-pitch components.

Question

Accepted Answer

To rework surface-mount components, specialized tools and equipment, such as BGA rework stations and fine-pitch soldering irons, are used.

BGA rework stations are used to remove and replace BGA components on circuit boards.
Fine-pitch soldering irons with small tips are used to solder fine-pitch components with close pin spacing.
Other tools like hot air rework stations, soldering tweezers, and magnifying lenses may also be used.
Skills in component removal, soldering, and reflow techniques are necessary for successful rework.
Examples of fine-pitch components include QFN (Quad Flat No-leads) packages and 0201-sized resistors.
