i dont want too be here other than a socket
eek its an amiga forum
yuk.!
its not cryano acrolate !! super glue...
developed for sticking tiles too the space shuttle
is better
look here for the formulae (link removed)
so quite a safe compound to spread thin as a bead.. from a nozzle thats graduated to size
over week pins back ends of sockets
and ill use it many times more
omg
i recommend a week off
so ill take one
(link removed)
cheep and cheerful gel spread 1 min to go tight 24hrs rock tight
has the properties of both super glue and epoxy
so bonds very well to both plastics and metals
try it out!!!
ok thanks for the advice
ive already removed the old socket and dressed the pads ready for the new one
and my way
i get 100% success doing it this way for 25 years
i would use hot air or IR if i wanted to keep the old part
just dont like hot air in a tight space
seen many disasters arrive with hot air damage
i use IR to re-ball the chips in PS and Xbox
and hot air for ataris and also sometimes amigas
mostly too dress over battery damage!!!!!!!! fer fek what a mess
it has its uses and its limits
just dont like heating anything i dont need too
i could see the point if i had the exact fitting for the hot air
but they cost like 100$ ish each sometimes
my method works if you dont want too tool up for what is a simple job
and avoids de-lamination of layers of pcb or thrus
each to their own i suppose
your very helpful ! thanks
ps i did find an epoxy for car use comes in a tube with a funnel nozzle
will produce a .25mm bead and cures in about 1 half mins in air to firm and 24 hrs to rock hard
and ill run a line of it on the back of both sockets
as i said its not me that broke it but i feel this will help negate pins pushing in
nothing bent just pushed in
think this ones been fortunate pads didnt rip
your pcb process is very good
now i feel bad im not havin a dig in any way
and im sorry if i offended your design etc
just trying to add improvements and future proof additions
eek...... sim says sorry..
i think a 0.5mm bead of epoxy across the rear of the cf cards slots
may help retain the pins
seems easy to rough hand them
still heavy hands are heavy hands
ill investigate how it happened see if cf handling can be improved
ie is it a heavy hand or lack of glasses and a bright light
not good but it is what it is
from what i see a very well made design
it had as it was 4 pushed in pins
nothing bent up
not a strong socket but the pads did not rip up
the pins back end deforms
hence the epoxy suggestion
reading what you said about hi quality smd desolder hot air in the link above not good! with me
you just need a craft knife fine side cutters and clip off all the plastic leaving the 50 pins connections bound
and just the sockets metal mounts
a 350 deg big tip too remove them
and a fine .5 or 1mm tip 280 and some flux liquid
to dress the pads and remove the old spent pins and solders
mag glass and a bright light!!
no hot air smd tools required
and ill tell you something
i never take a socket off with hot air for sure it just wont happen clouds of smoke etc
IR fries them in a few seconds
clip and purge all the plastic carefully with blades and clippers manually then dress the pads for a new one
mount and hand solder with the right rhos stuff and 375 deg .5mm tip
i have hot air and IR both are unsuitable for removing the socket
or even re-fixing it {flux liquid and 0.5mm solder}
best both done with nerve and mag and light and fine tips
sorry to disagree
also these sockets are very low quality tin plated soft copper
nothing like other cf card sockets with hard drawn gold plated
im not complaining for sure wrong advice ..
oh!! thank you very much
i thought it was a strange one a bit short of tong
i do lots of repairs
ill purchase one tday
great stuff and support cheers
Hi one of my computer buddies arrived with this card ACA500PLUS
looking i see one of the CF sockets has a few pins pushed in and bent /disconnected {too far gone} ....{*diot }
anyway it does happen
so the socket is marked CF-50P now ive looked and looked
and cat find this exact type
its a bit of a strange socket
so the long and the short of it
is i need a new socket if you have one to spare
or the exact part number of the socket used
or better if you have a link i can buy one
putting it on etc.. isnt an issue for me
any help appreciated and thanks in advance...
