11. Thoroughly rinse the entire area with water.
12. Connect the gold plating probe to the power supply (+) or red jack.
13. Dip the plating probe into the gold plating solution. Wait a few seconds for the
solution to saturate the absorbent wrapping.
14. Swab the entire surface to be plated by brushing the surface with the saturated
plating probe. The plating probe should be moved back and forth briskly to pre-
vent burning and to provide even coverage. Swab the area for the time recom-
mended by the equipment manufacturer.
15. Thoroughly rinse the entire area with water.
16. Remove and discard all plating tape and thoroughly rinse the area with water.
Dry the area using a air sprayer or wipes.
17. Remove the wire or conductive paint used to buss the contacts.
CAUTION
Apply tape to protect the contacts from further contamination while removing
the buss connection.
16. Thoroughly rinse the entire area with deionized water or rinse the printed wiring
board in an aqueous water cleaning system.
EVALUATION
1. The rework area should be checked by measuring the thickness of the nickel
and gold to make sure they meet the minimum thickness requirement.
2. The plating bond may also be checked by doing a peel test using peel testing
tape.
3. Visually examine the rework area for color and luster.

OUTLINE
This method is used to replace damaged surface mount pads with commercially
available replacement pads. The new pads are bonded to the printed wiring board
surface using liquid epoxy.
CAUTION
It is essential that the board surface be smooth and flat. If the base material is dam-
aged see appropriate procedure.
NOTE
This method uses commercially available replacement surface mount pads. The new
pads are fabricated from copper foil. They are available in hundreds of sizes and
shapes and are generally supplied solder plated. If a special size or shape is needed
they can be custom fabricated.

PROCEDURE
1. Clean the area.
2. Remove the defective pad and a short length of the connecting conductor. (See
Figure 1.)
3. Use a knife and scrape off any epoxy residue, contamination or burned material
from the board surface.
CAUTION
Abrasion operations can generate electrostatic charges.
4. Scrape off any solder resist or coating from the connecting conductor. (See Fig-
ure 2.)
