OVEN-STYLE NOZZLE FOR REWORKING OPERATIONS INVOLVING BOTTOM-SIDE TERMINATED COMPONENTS OR OTHER COMPONENTS

摘要

An apparatus includes a gas interface configured to be fluidly coupled to a gas source and to receive a heated gas flow from the gas source. The apparatus also includes a convection-to-radiant heat transfer section configured to receive convection heat from the heated gas flow. The apparatus further includes a compartment configured to receive a component. The heat transfer section is configured to convert the convection heat into radiant heat and to provide the radiant heat to the compartment in order to heat the component within the compartment. The apparatus is configured to substantially block the heated gas flow from contacting the component within the compartment. One or more exhaust vent openings may be configured to allow exhaust of the heated gas flow from the apparatus. A damper may be configured to selectively release or block the one or more exhaust vent openings.
