(2) Remove the flat pack-IC with tweezers while applying the hot air. (3) Bottom of the flat pack-IC is fixed with glue to the CBA; when removing entire flat pack-IC, first apply soldering iron to center of the flat pack-IC and heat up. Then remove (glue will be melted). (Fig. S-1-6) (4) Release the flat pack-IC from the CBA using tweezers. (Fig. S-1-6)

Pin 1

Pb (Lead) Free Solder
Pb free mark will be found on PCBs which use Pb free solder. (Refer to figure.) For PCBs with Pb free mark, be sure to use Pb free solder. For PCBs without Pb free mark, use standard solder.

Caution:
1. The Flat Pack-IC shape may differ by models. Use an appropriate hot-air flat pack-IC desoldering machine, whose shape matches that of the Flat PackIC. 2. Do not supply hot air to the chip parts around the flat pack-IC for over 6 seconds because damage to the chip parts may occur. Put masking tape around the flat pack-IC to protect other parts from damage. (Fig. S-1-2)
