How to Solder SMD Components using Sand

[@corynrobinson]

If you get a solder bridge, using wick can remove too much solder. Instead, try using a generous amount of flux to get the solder to go where it needs. If that doesn't work, then break out the wick and re-solder the appropriate pins.

[@tapanprsd1]

induction heating can make some sensitive component damage. better to switch off the induction heater before keeping the pcb for baking or use simple temperature controlled heater.

[@maxk4324]

Or use a very thick iron pan so that it doesn't become saturated and thus acts as a magnetic flux 'shield' of sorts.

[@Nic-st3mp]

The induction power 1st doesn't go through the iron pan and 2nd it doesn't go through the aluminium plate. How should the pan heat up without absorbing the power? First think of physics.

[@maxk4324]

@@Nic-st3mp it might not necessarily absorb all the power is what I'm saying, if it saturates then the magnetic field will start eminating out of the pan. Of course it absorbs most of it or else the induction stove is broken somehow or operating at the wrong frequency.

[@jeffgrills1101]

If it only takes 30 seconds to melt the solder, you can easily unplug the heater before dropping in the circuit board. With sufficient sand you'll have a substantial heat reservoir.

For those who wonder about the sand. It helps evening out the temperature, and also act as a heat buffer. One "can" place the PCB directly into the pan, but depending how the hotplate behaves, it is more likely to damage the PCB as the temperature goes up and down a lot as the hot plate power is cycled on and off. (The sand helps evening out this heat cycling). Simple, yet a fantastic idea with simple cheap parts one already have at home, or easy to get without any effort. All thumbs up!

[@charleshines6155]

Electric cook tops cycle on and off like that too. It is easy to tell because they are usually red when they are on. We have one of those glass ones and the nice thing is they are easy to clean. Mom accidentally melted plastic onto it (not a lot of plastic) and once it cooled down it was easy to scrape it off with a razor blade. Once I got it clean enough I turned it on and there was no burning plastic. That just proved how well the razor blade worked. If that was any other type of cook top it would have been much more difficult to clean up. I think what made that easy to clean up is that she caught it before it could burn.

[@eafindme]

It's only applicable if all of your SMD components are at the top layer.

[@vedantx-b2986]

Smd mean surface mount components therefore all the components are on top layer only

[@shubhamkasera7368]

For that you can solder it in two cycles one by one for each layer

[@Sky-jq2no]

@@vedantx-b2986 you can have SMDs on the top AND bottom

[@WurstPeterl]

@Sky for Bottom side you must use BGA. SMD = SURFACE mount & BGA = BOTTOM attachment

[@m4ki9h76]

@@WurstPeterl / BGA is Ball Grid Array, which means the solder pads are beneath the chips, needing balls of solders&specialized tools to properly heat the solder and mount it.

[@chemicstry]

Ideally you should spread all solder paste in one pass. Smearing stencil multiple times causes paste to squeeze under the stencil and causes problems with fine pitched components.

[@harviecz]

Combining induction stove and electronics is not a good idea... Currents can induce in your circuits and fry your components.

[@Gumeb]

Maybe,..... Or Maybe the pan absorbs all the induction

[@harviecz]

@@Gumeb quite possibly. But are you gonna take chances with expensive ICs or PCB that takes days to weeks to ship if you fry it?

[@Gumeb]

@@harviecz you are right, At the moment I would not use the method indicated in the video, at least not until checking with a magnetic field meter that on the surface is free of induction

[@toahero5925]

What if you used a conductive pan, then covered it with a metal lid or aluminum foil? I'm far from an expert, but wouldn't that create a faraday cage to protect the pcb?

[@PixlRainbow]

Just turn off the induction heater before placing the PCB. The sand will retain heat for quite a long time, longer if you cover the unused parts of the sand surface with some insulation

Interesting thought. "Soldering irons are time consuming and hot air stations are expensive" but when you have decided to use SMD components with a proper PCB and with a costly stencil and with an induction cooker and a digital thermometer, you were just a hot air station away. Also forget about it to use for dual sided pcbs. Cool huh.
