Abstract
An improved rework nozzle includes an open housing which when lowered onto the surface of a board forms a closed cavity. The housing includes venting means which expend air that is input to the cavity, thereby using flow through concepts to maintain a uniform temperature in the cavity. The housing also positioning mechanisms for both aligning a the housing and a captive integrated circuit to a desired footprint on the circuit board, and for limiting movement of the integrated circuit during rework.
