Designed to reduce the time required to rework straddle-mount connectors, LS 100 fromViTechnology LLCemploys a yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) laser beam to desolder the top surface of the connector while a convection heat source regulates thermal stress on the board and desolders the bottom surface. The semi-automatic selective soldering and rework system accommodates most electronic components.
