Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does "direct heating stencil" mean for BGA reballing?

A: A direct heating stencil is placed directly on top of the CPU chip's BGA pads. Hot air is applied through the stencil holes to melt and place solder balls without needing a separate transfer plate, making the reballing process faster and more straightforward for compatible Intel processors.

Q: Is this stencil compatible with all Intel i5-7200U laptop boards?

A: Yes — this stencil is specifically designed for Intel 7th and 8th generation mobile CPUs including the i5-7200U, i5-7300U, i7-7500U, i3-7100U, i5-8250U, and i7-8550U, which share SR340, SR341, SR342, SR343, SR3LA, and SR3LC markings. Always verify your chip's sRSpec marking before use.

Q: Can this stencil be reused multiple times?

A: Yes. The stencil is made from durable stainless steel and can be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol after each use and reused across many reballing jobs, making it a cost-effective tool for repair shops and technicians.
