2UUL BH30 The Smile Jig Mini

Bench space goes fast once a microscope, hot air station and supply are set up. The 2UUL BH30 Smile Jig Mini is the compact version of the Smile Jig, holding phone boards and chips in a smaller footprint.

The listing describes a smile-shaped body that fits various board sizes, an anti-slip design and free angle adjustment. It gives no dimensions, so check the photos against your bench.

Where the mini jig helps

• A chip being reballed that slides under the stencil.

• A board with a damaged component under a small microscope stage.

• A short you are checking while the board sits on the jig.

• A cramped bench where a full-size holder doesn't fit.

Tips

Fix the board before heating and adjust the angle by moving the jig, not the board. Wipe off flux after each job and keep it dry. A smaller jig can tip if you push hard with a pry tool, so hold it with your other hand.

Pick the BH30 for small benches or portable kits; the BH31 is the full-size Smile Jig with a larger bearing area for bigger boards.
