Reworking device for removing electrical elements mounted on motherboard

摘要

A reworking device (10) for removing a socket connector (20) soldered to a PCB (40) comprises a body portion (12) and a pair of movable clips (16) assembled to the body portion. Each of the movable clips has a hook (16f) for hooking a portion of the socket connector. A spring (16e) is compressively mounted on each of the movable clips for providing an upward force to the hook to pull the socket connector upwardly from the PCB when a soldering connection between the PCB and the socket connector is heated to reflow. A pair of standing legs (14) is provided to stand on an upper surface of the PCB beside the socket connector. The body portion is mounted on the standing legs.
