Manual Lead Tinning System (MLTS) is for re-tinning leads of fine-pitch quad flat pack SMDs in-house without bridging. Is reportedly ideal for hi-rel, military, and avionics component refurbishing requirements. Employs a tinning method using a “side wave” solder nozzle that is purged with nitrogen. Side wave process uses natural cascade of the solder to scrub the old plating off, while wicking away excess solder. Is a work station for one person to handle all forms of component lead tinning. Can be configured with one or two solder pots with either the side wave or straight immersion nozzles, and flowing flux station. Solder pots and fluxers are operated through foot switches.
