SMD rework station (Hot Gun)

2. SMD (surface mount device) Rework station
Before we will talk about SMD we should have to know what is an SMD rework station and how does it work. SMD soldering stations are electronic devices used to complete surface-mount soldering. The SMD stands for the surface-mount device, which refers to electronic components mounted on the surface of printed circuit boards (PCBs). These components are very small and need specialized tools to be mounted correctly. An SMD rework station is equipment designed to make surface-mount soldering more manageable and faster. It consists of an enclosure, a heating element, and a toolset.

The enclosure protects against contaminants while it heats the soldered device. The heating element allows you to adjust the temperature of your work piece so that the solder melts at precisely the right point. Finally, the toolset includes tips enabling you to put the solder on your work piece without handling it with your hands (which would melt the solder prematurely)

How do I use an SMD rework soldering station?
First, we use SMD rework stations replace defective components on circuit boards without damaging any other parts. They also permit surface mounting of new components onto circuit boards.

Second, you can also use SMD rework stations for soldering and disordering purposes. You can purchase a workstation with both functions soldering iron and SMD rework station.
To know how to choose SMD rework station you should have to consider about the budget, purpose of the station, how much space do you have and research. There are SMD stations are soldering irons with added features to make them more convenient and efficient. They are designed with specific functions, and their price reflects this. If you’re regularly working on electronics or other technical projects, look for one with a wide range of temperature settings. For example, many people choose a rework station with a temperature range from 300 degrees Celsius to 450 degrees Celsius. But if you’re working with higher temperatures, you’ll want a higher capacity. Also, if you’re working with small devices that need to be heated up quickly, look for a station with a fast heat-up time.
