Zusammenfassung:Reworking a component solder attached to a printed circuit board is described. The reworking is accomplished by directing energy only at the solder/pad arrangement used to attach the component to the printed circuit board. In one embodiment, the directed energy takes the form of an alternating magnetic field that inductively couples with the solder/pad arrangement. The alternating magnetic field has a frequency at least 800 kHz. In another embodiment, the directed energy takes the form of a laser beam that is concurrently directed at the solder/pad arrangements for liquefying the solder.
