Preheaters
BGA heaters, also known as preheaters, are professional devices used in electronics repair to evenly heat printed circuit boards (PCBs) before soldering or removing BGA, QFN, and other SMT components. They provide essential benefits such as:
-
maintaining optimal temperature across the entire board surface, preventing thermal damage during rework and soldering
-
reducing mechanical stress on chips and PCB, increasing repair durability
-
effectively preparing boards for BGA reballing and component reinstallation
-
facilitating work with delicate components like processors, eMMC, NAND, and PMIC chips
Preheaters are indispensable tools in any workshop handling motherboard repairs for phones, laptops, and other electronic devices, where precise temperature control and thermal safety are crucial.
