PCB path

Post by erzane »

Hello there,
The paths of my NACs PSUs PCB has become unstuck during soldering. How can I fix this, maybe a bridge ?
Btw, what is the max temparature for these pcb to prevent the path from becoming detached ?

I thought this was a question about what game hardware to put inside an arcade cabinet, the usual groovymame vs FPGA vs originaL PCB vs etc ...."paths"

In order to prevent lifting traces and/or solder pads I recommend 330° celcius if you have a good soldering station such as an Oki Metcal, JBC, or a top of the line Hakko, Goot, Weller etc., up to 400° for the bigger ground pads, avoid using a desoldering gun as much as possible if the only tip you have is too big since that's a recipe for disaster, always heat the metal, never the baquelyte board , and if you have to use one be careful and use plenty of flux, reflow the solder before desoldering/removing anything, a microscope will make your life even easier.
