Rework and Repair of Printed Wiring Assemblies

Abstract

Advancements in printed wiring technology have led to an increased demand for technicians with the knowledge and manual skills necessary to perform modifications, rework or repairs to these assemblies. Five key requirements are necessary to control the process for repair. These elements include technical expertise, analytical assessment, structured procedures, proper tooling and performance inspection criteria. In this paper all five elements are analysed and selected guidelines are given for common rework and repair situations.
