How to Add Components
1.
Solder paste
Apply an appropriate amount of solder paste to the PCB board where you wish
to install the component.
2.
Suction
Turn on the Hakko station (the blue box) by pressing the power button on the
left. Make sure it is plugged in.
Rotate the yellow knob on the handpiece so that the pad is just barely poking
out of the nozzle.
Turn on the vacuum by pressing the “V” button on the Hakko station. You can
check that it is on by placing your finger under the pad. You should feel suction.
Have the part sucked up by the pads.
3.
Placement of PCB board
o
Lower the part so that it is where you want it on the PCB board (contact
should be made).
o
Turn off the vacuum by pressing “V”.
4.
Heating
Press the “S” button in the lower right hand corner to begin heating.
Press the “S” button to turn heating off when the solder in that area appears
