LUOWEI AP02 Tri-Axial Carbon Fiber Motherboard Fixture

The LUOWEI AP02 is the larger carbon fiber fixture in the range, with tri-axial adjustment so a phone motherboard can be tilted and turned to the angle you need.

It measures 114 x 74 x 15 mm and weighs 275 g net, packed in a 144 x 86 x 33 mm box. The listing describes the carbon fiber as high-strength and heat-resistant, with a fit for various board sizes.

Where three axes help

• A cracked joint on a connector you can only reach at an angle.

• A chip that failed under a shield wall.

• Damaged traces running around the board edge.

• Corrosion between tall components that needs a brush at an angle.

Setting it up

Set the angle with the board cold and lock each axis before heating. Keep the board's heavy end low. Clean flux off the clamp after each job so the grip stays even.

Choose the AP02 when you need full control over the angle; the dual-axis AP06 FO and AP05 DAO are metal alternatives, and the AP03 is the small carbon fiber model for chips.
