Abstract
Sandia National Labs specializes in scientific and engineering applications for promoting national security and advancing technology in space, defense, and other innovation areas. The 鈥淣anonics鈥� series of connectors used in these applications have high pin counts and are very delicate and utilized on complicated, densely-populated PWBAs (鈥淧rinted Wire Board Assembly鈥�, a.k.a. 鈥淧CBA鈥� or 鈥減rinted circuit board assembly鈥�).听We aim to remove a Nanonics-style connector with high pin count from a PCB with between 12-16 layers. Upon successful connector removal, the PCB can be reused with a new connector replacement. The rework must be done in a manner that meets aerospace-grade inspection that passes IPC Standards (Class III Specifications).听
