Component rework nozzle

摘要

An apparatus for a component rework nozzle includes a nozzle with a proximal end spaced apart from a distal end along an axis. The proximal end is sized to partially enclose a component during a component rework process. The component is disposed on a substrate by way of a plurality of solder joints. The apparatus includes an indentation defined in a side of the nozzle. The side of the nozzle is parallel to the axis. The indentation is shaped to maintain a separation between the nozzle and a neighboring component. The neighboring component is disposed adjacent to the component on the substrate. The apparatus includes a plurality of notches disposed on the proximal end of the nozzle. The plurality of notches are formed to balance heat distribution, during the component rework process, across the component.

1. An apparatus comprising:
a nozzle with a proximal end spaced apart from a distal end along an axis, the proximal end sized to partially enclose a component during a component rework process, the component disposed on a substrate by way of a plurality of solder joints; an indentation defined in a side of the nozzle, the side of the nozzle parallel to the axis, the indentation shaped to maintain a separation between the nozzle and a neighboring component, the neighboring component disposed adjacent to the component on the substrate, wherein the indentation exposes a portion of a top of the component such that the exposed portion of the top of the component is external to the nozzle; and a plurality of notches disposed on the proximal end of the nozzle, the plurality of notches formed to balance heat distribution, during the component rework process, across the component, wherein the plurality of notches are sized to balance the heat distribution by balancing gas flow across the component, wherein the nozzle comprises a void above the component wherein at top of the component is exposed to gas flow from the distal end of the nozzle.
