Through hole PCB Repair Kit
Through-holes or vias can be damaged in the handling of
PCB's or through the improper removal of a device. The
new BEST Through-hole Repair Kit can assist in
the repair of these through-holes to make them look as
good as new.
BEST Through-hole repair kits are designed by our
artisans who have been repairing circuit boards for many
years, therefore the right tools have been included in
this general through-hole repair kit. This kit includes
a large number of flat flange eyelets in a good variety
of sizes, which are recommended when a low profile or
clearance factor is required.
Call Katy Radcliff @ (847) 797-9250 for more
information.
Our Land Repair Kit is designed to repair lifted or
damaged lands on circuit boards. This kit was
specifically designed to make the repair process as
simple and effective as possible. This kit includes 3
different tin plated circuit frame patterns, which offer
nearly 3 times as many usable replacement land patterns
as other circuit frames. Unlike dry film circuit frames,
BEST circuit frames have no shelf life and can be used
on both lead-free and tin-lead finish circuit boards.
This kit includes the following items:
BEST Edge Connector Circuit Frame tin plated
BEST SMT Trace Circuit Frame tin plated
BEST Trace Repair Circuit Frame tin plated
Professional stainless steel tweezer
X-acto knife
Resin/Hardener
Orangewood sticks for epoxy mixing
Please call Katy Radcliff at extension x32 if you have
questions on this and other other PCB repair tools.
Want to Make Your Own Portable Game Over the
Holidays??
So there is a graduate student working on his thesis
when all he really could think about was playing
Arkanoid. His original game was non-functional and
he did not even have a TV. Lucky for him he had a
couple things kicking around his workbench. Here he
comes up with a design for a very simple, very
inexpensive portable Nintendo gaming system with
built in games. There are no provisions for
cartridges, but its comfy to play. Check it out and
impress your friends.
