Thursday October 11, 2012 - Jason Whiteman has been steadily investing into equipment and supplies for the electrical PCB debug and rework lab in Houston, TX. A number of suppliers have been utilized including local stores such as Fry's Electronics and MicroCenter as well as online suppliers.
Items Recently Purchased:
Kapton tape as a high-temperature insulator and general adhesive. "Blue wires" can be secured with the tape. Also, strategically placed tape can prevent shorts in cases where rework is done in dense areas.

Jason Whiteman uses the Hakkon 808 desoldering gun to remove parts from PCBs or to rework boards that have an issue due to contamination. The through-hole part with associated contamination can be removed without applying a large amount of heat or otherwise damaging the parts and PCB.

Jason Whiteman uses Chemtronic's Flux-Off (No Clean Plus) in order to ensure reworked board is free of flux residue. The flux is corrosive and conductive. Therefore, the flux can affect circuit behavior unless it is cleaned from the board.
