Man, I saw this and started to feel good about SMD soldering again... then I saw the size of the components you tweezed off and instantly felt bad again.
Hi, i want to buy this unit to replace bad LED's on TV backlight LED strips. Do you still have the unit? If so, is it still working good? Are you still satisfied with it? Hope to hear from you soon. Many thanks in advance
When you reflow a PCB, there are temperature profiles to follow to not overheat components, On a plate, you do this manually - reflow ovens have profiles built in that they follow.
On a PCB assembly line, each small part receives a small dab of glue to hold it in place before it goes through the reflow oven. The glue holds the parts in place during the reflow process. Most prototype designers will try to keep all surface mount parts on one side of the board so they don't have to worry about this issue.
@@picklerix6162 No we don't use glue for reflow. Solder has surface tension and unless there is a big ass heavy part with tiny pads (a transformer for example) the tension keeps them in place while upside down. Glue is used for wave soldering smt parts.
@@Chevroletcelebrity you'd love having the potentially toxic fumes released from the heated pcb, heated plastics and solder in the eyes and airways. but also, they could be doing other experiments there, such as resin fumes (or microplastics) released from 3d printing. we dont know how well ventilated their space is and that stuff is bad for your lungs so you need a mask minimum..
Just bought one of these to do low volume production at home. I'm confident my 75$ is well spent now. Thank you.
Bought one of these to try soldering leds on aluminium pcbs.
They did surgery on a ram stick
i made one hot plate similar to that in 2012.... very cool tool to have
Just a small thought; don't get solder on the gold-plated bits if you want to use the board. You won't ever get it off again.
Why please?

No reflow curve but this thing is huge … solder small to large projects with ease

Good video !
Good job, Human 4!
thnk for the demo, can you explain the difference between ovens and this hotplate?
what hotplate is it and where do you get it? Thank you
Thanks for the demo. Why do you set the temperature to less than the melting point to begin with?

why don't you print an alignment jig
cool.
I want to know what kind of hotplate that is!
946c SMD Reflow Hot Plate made by several Chinese brands such as Uyue
Mantap
How do you solder double sided PCB's with components on both sides?
Use two different types of solder paste.
One with lower melting point.
@@TheHaubke can you please recommend for those solder pastes?
@@doronshpigel321 well i do not know a good type. Depends on your usage.
Lets say use one with 210c melting point. Other side, 160c melting point.

Thanks.. very interesting..
MHP 30 is much more usefull ... and smaller.
Considering what is in solder paste I really suggest gloves.
Oh, what’s a little heavy metal toxicity between friends?🤪
Jeez what's next a well ventilated area
@@thirtythreeeyes8624 And you’re gonna tell me I need to hold the soldering iron by the handle too, aren’t cha?
Most of the paste is no-lead but there are other nasty chemicals in there.
What doesn't kill me makes me strong-ACK
ridiculous kiddos.
Mask and face shield ! Are you kiding ?
Hope you feel safe...
yeah whats with the mask and face shield bruh?
