Apply flux to both DUT and MX0100A probe tip lead wires. Always use plenty of
flux, even if your solder already contains flux. This cleans the solder joint and
allows for easier flowing solder and quicker dwell times.
Add solder to existing test points on DUT, if necessary. Heat momentarily and
do not dwell any longer than necessary!
Connect the MX0100A probe head's lead wires to DUT by positioning these
wires on DUT and then reflowing joint while heating momentarily. .
Keep the temperature as low as possible while still reflowing the solder at

the joint of concern. The following are some of the useful tips to maintain
low temperature during soldering.
- A temperature-controlled soldering iron is the best way to do this. Set it
for no more than 350
tin-bismuth solder.
- Do not rest a soldering iron on a probe joint for more than a few seconds.
Provide strain-relief to the probe head by taping its mid portion to a flat surface
such as a tabletop using the double-sided foam tape (such as Keysight part
