Whatsminer KF1960 Tin Tool Kit – ASIC Chip Repair for M30S M30S+ M30S++

Whatsminer KF1960 Tin Tool Kit – ASIC Chip Reballing for M30S, M30S+ & M30S++ Hashboards

This all-in-one tin tool kit is built specifically for the Whatsminer KF1960 ASIC chip used on M30S, M30S+ and M30S++ hashboards. It includes a precision stencil plate and chip holder that work together to deposit uniform solder balls on the chip's BGA pads — eliminating shorts, bridges and cold joints that are common with freehand tinning. Whether you are re-tinning oxidised chips pulled from a board or preparing brand-new KF1960 replacements, this kit streamlines the process for both single-board repairs and high-volume rework operations.

When to Use the KF1960 Tin Tool

After removing a failed KF1960 from a hashboard, the chip's solder balls are destroyed during desoldering. Before a replacement chip (or a tested known-good chip) can be reflowed onto the board, fresh solder balls must be applied to its BGA pads. This kit handles that step: place the chip in the holder, align the stencil, apply paste, and squeegee — in under two minutes you have a perfectly balled chip ready for reflow. The same process applies when refurbishing pulled chips: if the old solder has oxidised, clean the pads with flux and wick, then re-ball through the stencil.

Using the Kit Step by Step

Clean the chip's pad surface with flux and solder wick until all pads are flat and shiny. Seat the chip in the holder with pin-1 oriented to the alignment mark. Lower the stencil plate onto the holder — the precision-cut apertures align automatically to the BGA pad pattern. Apply solder paste across the stencil with a squeegee in one smooth pass, then carefully lift the stencil straight up to reveal uniform paste deposits on every pad. Transfer the chip to a preheater and reflow the paste into spherical solder balls. The chip is now ready for placement on the hashboard.

The stencil's steel construction resists warping through repeated thermal cycles, and the holder's firm grip prevents the chip from shifting during paste application — together they ensure consistent results across hundreds of chips.
