What are desoldering techniques?
12 Easy Tips to Improve Your PCB Desoldering Today
- Keep Your Soldering Iron Tip Clean and Tinned For Effective Heat Conduction.
- Minimize the Length of Time That the Board and Components Remain at a High Temperature.
- Match Solder Wick Width to Solder Joint or Contact Pad.
- Match Soldering Iron Tip to Braid Width for Accuracy.
How do you desolder a part?
One of the nicest ways to desolder a component involves using a desoldering pump. A desoldering pump is essentially a small, high pressure vacuum. After heating up the solder, you can use the desoldering pump to suck the solder up and out of the way.
How do you remove solder without desoldering tool?
Place your wick against the point where you want to remove solder, then hold your irons tip over that point. You’ll see the solder soak into the wires around the point where your iron is touching once it gets hot enough to melt.
How do you remove soldering electronics?
Using the tip of your soldering iron, heat the old solder until it melts. You can push the terminal with the soldering iron tip at the same time to help free the component as the old solder melts. Use an old soldering iron if you have one, since pushing with the iron can wear the iron down.
How do you remove solder that won’t melt?
Try cleaning the tip with a gentle brass brush or a wet sponge and lots of flux and fresh solder, then clean the board with isopropyl alcohol, then flood the board and the solder wick with liquid flux. Try again.
