16. Trim the extending edge of the new edge contact with a file. File parallel to the beveled edge until the excess material has been removed. (See Figure 5.) 17. If sealing the lap solder joint connection is required, m…

4. Scrape off any solder resist or coating from the connecting conductor. (See Fig-
ure 1.)
5. Clean the area.
6. Apply a small amount of liquid flux to the connection area on the board surface
and tin with solder. Clean the area. The length of the overlap solder connection
should be a minimum of 2 times the conductor width.
7. The area for the new edge contact on the board surface must be smooth and
flat. If internal fibers of the board are exposed or deep scratches exist in the
surface they should be repaired. Refer to appropriate procedure.
8. Select a new edge contact that most closely matches the edge contact to be
replaced. (See Figure 2.)
9. Cut out and trim the new edge contact. Cut out from the plated side. Cut the
length to provide the maximum allowable joint if lap soldering. Minimum 2 times
the conductor width. Leave the new edge contact extra long. The excess mate-
rial will be trimmed after curing. (See Figure 3.)
NOTE
The new replacement edge contact may be trimmed from copper sheet.
10. Mix the epoxy and apply a small amount to the surface where the new contact
will be placed.
11. Place a piece of tape over the top surface of the new edge contact. Position the
new edge contact on the printed wiring board surface using the tape to aid in
alignment. (See Figure 4.)
NOTE
Allow the edge contact to overhang the edge of the printed wiring board. Leave
the tape in place during the bonding cycle.
12. Cure the epoxy per the manufacturer’s instructions.
CAUTION
Some components may be sensitive to high temperature.
13. After the epoxy has cured, remove the tape used for alignment. Carefully clean
and inspect the new pad for proper alignment.
NOTE
Additional epoxy can be applied around the perimeter of the new edge contact
to provide additional bond strength.
14. If the new edge contact has a connecting conductor apply a small amount of
liquid flux to the lap solder joint connection area and solder the conductor from
the new edge contact to the conductor on the printed wiring board surface. Use
minimal flux and solder to ensure a reliable connection. Tape may be placed
over the top of the new edge contact to prevent excess solder overflow.
NOTE
If the configuration permits, the overlap solder joint connection should be a
minimum of 3.00 mm from the related termination. This gap will minimize the
possibility of simultaneous reflow during soldering operations.
15. Remove the tape and clean the area.

16. Trim the extending edge of the new edge contact with a file. File parallel to the
beveled edge until the excess material has been removed. (See Figure 5.)
17. If sealing the lap solder joint connection is required, mix epoxy and coat the lap
solder joint connections. Cure the epoxy per the manufacturer’s instructions.
18. If plating is required refer to appropriate procedure.
19. Apply surface coating to match prior coating as required.
EVALUATION
1. Visual examination, measurement of new pad width and spacing.
2. Electrical continuity measurement.
