In these cases, a replacement pad is obtained from a scrap circuitboard. Refer to figure 3-25 as you study each step.Figure 3-25.—Replacement of damaged termination pad.The underside of the replacement pad <strong>and</strong> the area where it will be installed is cleaned. An epoxy isused to fasten the replacement pad to the board. An eyelet is installed to reinforce the pad before theepoxy sets <strong>and</strong> cures. This ensures a good mechanical bond between the board <strong>and</strong> pad <strong>and</strong> provides goodelectrical contact for components. After the epoxy cures, the new pad is lap-soldered to the original run.3-33
