Abstract

The invention is a device for attaching or removing electronic components from a substrate and includes a nozzle for delivering heat to the terminal areas of the substrate. The nozzle includes a first plate, spaced from the component, having openings corresponding to the terminals of the component. The nozzle further includes a second portion below the plate for directing heated fluid to the component. Further, at least one opening in the plate is enlarged to delivery more heat to certain terminals connected to a ground plate, for example.
