Our PCB Repair Process
Our 7-step repair process ensures precision, quality, and reliability:
1. Component Removal
- Damaged or faulty components are carefully desoldered using industry-standard tools such as soldering irons and desoldering pumps.
- Excess solder is removed to prevent contamination and ensure a clean repair surface.
2. Track & Pad Cleaning
- PCB traces and pads are thoroughly cleaned to remove oxidation, debris, and any remaining solder.
- Special attention is given to damaged tracks to prepare them for potential repairs.
3. Trace & Circuit Repair (if necessary)
- If traces are broken, they are reconstructed using high-precision soldering techniques or wire jumpers to restore conductivity.
- For multilayer PCBs, advanced techniques are used to repair inner-layer connections without affecting functionality.
4. Component Replacement & Soldering
- New or functional replacement components are precisely positioned and soldered onto the board using appropriate techniques for surface-mount (SMT) or through-hole components.
- Lead-free or leaded soldering is performed based on customer specifications and compliance requirements.
5. Solder Joint Inspection & Repair
- Each solder joint is examined for proper adhesion, conductivity, and alignment.
- Cold joints, solder bridges, or inconsistencies are identified and corrected to prevent failures.
6. Excess Lead Trimming & Board Cleaning
- Excess component leads are trimmed to prevent shorts and ensure a professional finish.
- The PCB is cleaned to remove flux residues and other contaminants that could impact long-term reliability.
7. Final Inspection & Testing
- Each repaired PCB undergoes electrical testing and functional verification to confirm proper operation.
- First Article Inspection (FAI) is conducted if required, ensuring compliance with AS9102 and customer specifications.
