ETEMCO, a contract electronics manufacturer providing PCB assembly, rework, repair, and engineering support services for complex electronic systems, provides PCB rework and repair services for component removal, replacement, and soldering using PDR infrared technology. The company supports manufacturing and maintenance processes by restoring defective or damaged printed circuit boards without requiring full replacement.

ETEMCO uses infrared rework equipment along with hot air and precision soldering tools to complete advanced rework operations. Its PDR IR-E3M rework station is used for BGA and SMT component rework and replacement, with focused infrared heating, 3-zone board preheat, and a split beam prism viewing system. This approach applies heat to targeted areas while limiting impact on nearby components and supports rework across standard, aluminum clad, and multilayer PCB designs.

The company’s rework services include replacing components without damage to surrounding parts using controlled techniques and correcting defects such as misaligned components and cold solder joints using inspection tools.

ETEMCO performs BGA rework through diagnosis, site cleaning, component removal, placement of a new component, reflow soldering, and inspection. QFN rework includes site cleaning, component removal, solder paste application, placement, reflow, and inspection. 

The company also supports rework of bottom-terminated devices, including fine pitch, standard SMT, and through-hole rework. These services are used to support board recovery, reduce scrap, and maintain functionality in PCB assemblies.
