How to choose a hot air station
Airflow control. Low, stable airflow avoids blowing away small components; high power helps with large shields and multilayer boards.
Nozzles. Small nozzles concentrate heat on a single IC; check which nozzles are included.
Combine with a preheater. Preheating the board reduces the hot air temperature needed and lowers the risk of warping.
FAQ
Do I need a hot air station for phone repair?
For board-level work, yes – it is needed to remove and install ICs, connectors and shields. Screen and battery repairs only need a basic heat source.
What temperature should I use?
It depends on the board, solder and nozzle. Start low and increase gradually, use flux, and preheat the board to lower the required temperature.
What is the difference between a hot air gun and a rework station?
A rework station usually has a separate control unit with a handle and stand; hot air guns are compact all-in-one units. Both are used for SMD rework.
