Sometimes when you're soldering, you may need to remove a component from the board to rework the board. And for that, we need different tools that will help us with that job.
First, we need to decide what kind of component we have to work with. We have service mount components, such as this capacitor. Service mount components have no hole that passes through the board, and so we need to work on the surface using a solder wick. To use a solder wick, we first start by trimming the end flush with a wire cutter. Solder wick comes with pre-applied small amount of solder flux, but it's often helpful to have a little bit more.
Clean our tip. Now, we apply the solder wick between the part that we want to use the iron. We place our iron on top of the wick so that the wick is heated. As you can see, the solder flows into the wick. This removes the solder from one of the pads and now we're ready to use the other pad. And we can, once we remove the solder on that side, we'll be ready to remove the device.
Another type of component that's common to work with is the through-hole device. Through-hole devices have terminals that pass through both sides of the board, and so the solder also passes through that hole as well.
To remove the solder from the through-hole, we need access to both sides of the board. Both sides. And what we use is a solder sucker. A solder sucker is, basically, a vacuum tool with a plunger that provides a vacuum that we can use to suck the solder inside through the tip.
So we'll work with the tool using my left hand on the back side of the board. We'll place the tip over the pin of the part that we're looking to remove and we'll heat from the other side. Once the solder is melted, press the trigger and the solder is gone.
10 Years and still educational!
As someone who is dipping their toes into soldering, this was very helpful. Thanks!
That sounds painful
@@wanderinghobo4917 he doesn't mean it literally (ik its a joke)
Ok bro. you are a life saver because my drone was broken one of the motor's was not working and then i was gonna swtich it out with another one but all the solder joints soldered together and than i used your advice thank you
So that's what's solder wick looks like. Have one in my solder kit and didn't know what it was. Thanks a lot.
Just bought a kit but it didn't come with any solder wicks!
Thank you for your very explanatory video! It's just what I needed.
"Once the solders melted, press thee trigger"
*removes solder from our cannon universe, breaking the conservation of matter*
"Solders gone!"
Usually, a component must be removed because it is not working anymore.
If this is the case, an SMD part can be simply desoldered by heating the component itself. A through-hole component can be cut at its legs to desolder its remaining wire.
I don't think a sucker is absolutely necessary when you don't collect used electronic parts.
Looks super easy until you work on 1970's and 60'S 80's electronic that are so dried up and mixed up with chemicals everything breaks on you hehe
anonymously awesome i just add some new solder
Where did you get the Pcb holder
do you need a certain temperature? my pencil soldering iron and plunger doesnt do anything like here.
have you figured out what it was, I'm having the same issue
@@like-icecream You're likely trying to remove lead-free solder which is more difficult. It requires a hotter iron and sometimes a stronger flux.
@@JJFX- I have a 60watt iron and I can’t melt it well. Don’t know what my issue is. I tried with a 140w gun too. I keep getting solder on my tips too and it just hardens like concrete and will never melt off.
@@swearick sounds like you need a temp control iron, usually with old solder or lead free i have to work up at 400 to 425c and use a decent flux in order to remove it.
what heat level is the soldering iron at?
Thank you for asking this question! Thumbs up
@Devon Pennartz This is super late.. thanks. Was looking for this answer.
I believe 350° c is a good starting point for pcb
Thanks, Morty.
Dude nice
Need to see what he is doing howcast. your camera angles are lacking =( get closer pls
a down view would of been better.
i have my iron on 400c and i still can't get the solder to melt on the wick like that. i don't even get any smoke. what's the deal?!!
Most likely the tip isn't properly tinned or has a lot of oxidation. If it has a lot of oxidation (Like the tip isn't very smooth anymore and has rough patches) just replace the tip. 8/10 times I have found that to be the problem.
@@user-ii8dz4vu7n how to replace the tip, every diy starter should know they need flux...
can reheat the iron and dip the tip into it solve it?
@@afiqalbawah4039 Either unscrew the knurled end close to the handle, or there is a screw close to the tip that will let you pull the tip out with pliers. If it's the screw type, you can chuck the tip in a drill and sharpen it on an abrasive wheel or belt sander and dunk it in tinning paste, and let it heat up in the tinning paste (this keeps it from being exposed to the air under heat and oxidizing). If it's a sheath/knurled one, it's best to look up your make and model and see what tips it accepts.
Having issues getting solder to melt to remove dc jack from laptop. Any suggestions?
What is a correct temp
My wick gets stuck to the pad quite often?
where does one buy these tools that isnt amazon
Thanks!!!
uh ok how do I do it without an expensive tool?
it's.. not expensive.. like at all
if solder iron's tip is not doing its job, what should I do, dip it into flux or buying a new one?
@@afiqalbawah4039 heat it up, wipe it off with steel wool, re-tin the tip. cheers!
*sigh* wish I could afford/budget in these tools... Well at least I know what sort of mechanics I will be trying to mimic with whatever I can piece together.
You can literally buy a soldering iron an sucker for 10 bucks
is there a way to do it without a soldering iron?
do it with fire lol
Hi, that's awesome 👍.
Im guessing you dont need flux to remove it then
how do I remove solder from something that's through hole, but I only have access to one side of the board, because the USB ports I want to replace, are in the way of the other side.
You can't. You are doomed to fail
Looks like a lead free circuit board. Hope you're using 2009M flux for that. I work at a circuit board company so I know soldering by hand and soldering by wave machines.
teach me senpai!!!
If you don't have a solder wik then what?
How to hide components on pcb boards with mseal
i did not know how to use the vaccum one for a year but now i know
This guy's facial expressions absolutely do not correlate with what he's teaching. His facial expressions give off a more "there's a little boy in the back room" vibe
That solder sucker 😂
Hmm, trying to remove solder from a din connection, the cables tore off, not having much luck :(
How to get solder out of sucker?
Tip unscrews
Soddering? You mean... soldering?
That's how it is pronounced. We say Sodder instead of solder.
@@lem09able That's not how it's pronounced, that's how American's butcher it
@@BlueTaIon When people say it a lot, it becomes what it is. Words are interesting that way. I also checked webster's dictionary, solder and sodder are both in the pronunciation list. With sodder being the first one.
So can I just use my vacuum?? 🤣🤣🤣
1:35 "uwu"
what vice is that?
+DJVibesSCS A Panavise I think.
please help me how to remove the solder wire in my gold earings .🙁 thanks in advance
Gota heat it up and use flux
Solder wick is great for smd jobs, if you are looking for a solder sucker, I would recommend the ss-02 from Engineer: ruclips.net/video/6rsZ0gnVW-E/видео.html
my hands shake too much
