How To Remove Electronic Components - PART 1 / Soldering Tutorial

Рік тому

How to remove Electronic components is a neat guide showing common and uncommon methods to remove your soldered devices.
Including examples such as QFP + QFN IC removal and an easy AWESOME method for removing your header connectors. Also featuring various ways to remove Electrolytic capacitors including a really cool easy uncommon method , you will really love this one.
Part way through the video see how you can protect your plastic parts while using a heat gun close by with the cool silver foil tape method.
I have also posted a PART 2 of this video with more great examples of common and unusual removal methods that may help you in the future.
If you wish to see more future releases by Mr SolderFix please be sure to like and subscribe.

I really liked the thick wire against the 5 pin connector. It's so simple, but someone's got to come up with the idea. Thanks for that idea.

@mrsolderfix3996 Рік тому

Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. Yes it really is a simple trick and it does work so easily as shown in the video . It's much safer than trying to remove all the solder from the barrels around the pins. I'm glad you enjoyed it . Thanks again , take care 👍

Your channel is the first channel attracts my eye and not waste time to watch your video. Your are really straight forward and practical, while other videos with the same subject drives me confused. They talk too much about tools, theory, and impractical. But your channel is straight forward, I can copy and do it on my own after watching your video with ease. I was curious much on how to repair the PCB, and one of your videos solved my curiousity. Hope you can have more videos on how to repair and rework the PCB.

2 irons are awesome, i also realised with hands on approach that 2 heat guns can do also miracles for desoldering. I had to desolder 12 points toggle switches and some SMB connectors. With one, i fried the boards until they desolder, with 2 job done fast. Mind you about the switches, the footprint was wrong, they made contact but didnt pass through-hole. So they where soldered with 138 degrees paste poured all over the contacts on a hot plate. So it was not as strong bind as if the switch fit the footprint.

Hi . You can buy soldering tweezers but personally I much prefer using 2 irons as if you need to for example bring the irons in from different angles you can do , whereas with the soldering tweezers you cannot achieve this , so for me 2 irons is a much better option.

Try soldering the wick just a little to help get the heat transfer started. Once the flow starts it will slurp it right off the component/board.

@mrsolderfix3996 Рік тому

@goodun2974 10 місяців тому

When desoldering a battery, be sure to wear eye protection; I've encountered battery-electrolyte leakage that sparks and spits when heat is applied to the solder joints, even when the battery measures stone-dead. BTW, If the battery has any voltage left on it, cut the battery out with side cutters if possible and unsolder the two terminals separately,

Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. Definitely good advice you've given there , we can all help each other so thank you for that 👍

@johnwest7993 Рік тому

I always tell people to use much more solder to desolder than to solder. An important reason to clip off the used solder braid instead of just working your way up to clean braid is that the used braid draws away the iron's heat, and you don't want that to happen. This is the only one in the series I've seen as yet, but it's clearly a very good instructional video series with professional video standards, and I will suggest my soldering class students watch it. Thank you. What camera setup are you using for these great close-ups of what's happening? It looks like it's perfect for this kind of work, and for inspection as well.

@karinje2208 10 місяців тому

And it is always a good idea to minimize any tool or materials (i.e. flux, hot braid) contact with the wafer board. Non?

@mrsolderfix3996 10 місяців тому

Hi , I personally use lots of flux , soldering is so much easier and you will definitely get better joints with flux without it you will struggle at times. Thanks for your comment 👍

@karinje2208 10 місяців тому

@@mrsolderfix3996 You are very welcome. I remember when I started, the flux residue could cause damage. I was curious if you had a preferred cleaner to use ? Thank you for your attention.

@mrsolderfix3996 10 місяців тому

Hi , thank you for your comment. The flux I have used for many years is SMFL200D , a non clean , non corrosive flux , so if any remains on the PCB after cleaning you will be ok . Unfortunately it's been discontinued recently. Old style flux if left on could cause electrical shorts as it could cause joints to grow solder fingers , but that was long ago. I have posted a video on UKposts showing my preferred cleaning fluids and how I clean boards . All the information is in that video . Thanks again, take care 👍

Great video and techniques! I've in the past, used the wire technique for removing smaller QFN & SOIC chips too (doesn't work on those with thermal pads obviously) because I didn't have a hot air gun. You'll want to use a slightly thicker solid core wire and bend it into shape around the pins on all sides; then flood the pins and wire with flux and solder and use the iron to heat up the wire and keep the solder molten and just remove the chip. That was my poor man's technique since cheap hot air rework stations weren't a thing back then - Aliexpress and the likes weren't a thing so a 'cheap' hot air rework kit would have been in the hundreds of dollars.

Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. Your right cutting the legs is an option if you don't need the component anymore. I actually showed this exact option in one of my earlier videos ( 4 ways to remove smd IC ) and like yourself I too have used this method on numerous occasions .

Very good. I'm personally not too worried about pads. As long as I keep the force to a minimum, to just be able to lift the component

Nice information and techniques, as always! I've had trouble with the heat gun melting solder in the small parts surrounding a big chip I was trying to remove. I get the impression from your demonstration that I should concentrate more on the "inner" parts of the big chip; maybe just a little air out onto the pins, but... most of the heat is going to flow through the chip's package out into the leads, instead of trying to heat up the pins directly. Does that make sense? Is it right?

@mrsolderfix3996 Рік тому

Hi . I occasionally get small parts surrounding the IC that's being removed melting as well so if I'm worried parts will shift I usually put a silver foil tape ( sticky backed ) over these parts protecting them from the heat so the solder on them won't melt. Some people use Kapton tape for this but heat will go through Kapton and the parts will still unsolder and potentially move. You are right , go round the edge to warm the area then concentrate on the centre . Hope that helps 👍

amazing video , what pads you use to clean the board , and what temperature do you use on the soleding iron

@mrsolderfix3996 8 місяців тому

Hi , thank you for your comment , much appreciated . The cleaning pads I use are called Gtek dry wipes from a company in England called Grove Sales . Unfortunately I don't think they ship these overseas . The cleaning fluid I dip them in is called Ultrasolve . The irons I use in my videos are Weller TCP S , which are 50 watt . If I'm doing leaded soldering I use about 330 degrees Celsius and for lead free I use about 360 to 370 degrees Celsius . Hope that helps , thanks again for your time 👍

I did electronics as a kid back in the 90's, never had any trouble with through hole stuff. Professionally i moved to the stuff where something like 5g95NYY is your bread and butter. No i am returning to electronics and everything is SMT. Have to relearn everything. Also RoHS wasn't a thing back in the days. At first i thought i was going crazy. I knew that i had to apply more heat but esp. tarnished solder joints were an absolute p.i.t.a. So, thanks, much appreciated.

Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. Hopefully you will enjoy returning to doing electronics and maybe my videos can help you a little . Good luck with all your projects , thanks again 👍

Any idea how to remove a couple of 0402 SMT resistors from a six-layer PCB? I tried soldering irons, heat gun and ChipQuick. The problem is that the component density is quite high, giving very little room to work and the six-layers seems to soak the heat away and threatened to delaminate the top tracks.

hi, amazing videos, i used to work, and i do for training and for hobby, fixing my old stuff, i have a project to rebuild and old technics amplifier, but most modern circuit, multilayer and big ground pads for disipattion has been very struggling for me, i want to know, what brand of tin, braid, and if you use tin sucker for clean pads, because it's no easy to clean the with sucker even without the pin inside

I had a scrap board that I wanted to retrieve most of the components - not all, but most. I got the in line connectors off using a soldering iron tip I modified - filing it square and putting a slight bend it it so it would contact more pins. I used the gas hob in the kitchen and lit a very small flame , then put the board solder side down. After a minute, everything started to slide and were easy to pick off.
