This particular solder sucker has a silicone tip, you can simply place it over the solder joint while you're still heating it with the iron. The seal is likely to be less good, but it's a little bit less cumbersome than trying to hit and seal the joint with the solder sucker in that split second that your solder is still liquid enough. Over time the silicone will obviously wear out but it's easy enough to replace.
Pro tip: if you have a plastic solder sucker, you can likely add a piece of silicone to its tip as well.
Was about to comment both those point. Great minds ;)
do you have an image of what that would look like?
Yes, I believe mine is this model, and it comes with replacement tips for this exact reason.
Ya that tip would be sooo helpful
I also added silicon tip so I can heat and trigger at the same time
I just had to replace a switch on one of my older pre-built keyboards. I was struggling to get the solder to melt, so I ended up needing to add a little bit more solder to the joints for it to finally start melting. Took me like 10 minutes to figure that out. Now I know 😂
The added solder helps conduct heat from the iron to heat the existing solder, and increases the thermal mass of the enlarged blob so that it stays hotter and melted for a longer time. In addition, if the new solder is leaded, and mixes with existing lead-free solder, that lowers the overall melting temperature. That makes it easier to melt, and allows it to stay melted longer.
@@Graham_Widemanthanks
Oh the high-school memories I am having! I loved electronics class. The power of knowledge!
I have one of those. Rarely use it but quality piece of kit to have.
I just learned that the reason they give you extra plastic tips is because you should be making a seal which makes the pump work at it's best. .. and this you may burn the tip ... Thank you so much !!
I don’t really do electronics any more. I tried all of these pumps and the best one by far is the big blue one. It’s huge compared to any of the others but is so much better. I used the same one as in the video for smaller stuff but the big blue came out when I had loads of component retrieving or bigger joints.
That thing really sucks.
Looks quicker/easier than the braid I've been using for years.
We all need more Collin in our lives.
Ya ever try that mop braid technique? Looks amazing, about to try it out. I'm guessing it's gotta be done with a reallly good heat gun.
I've had trouble getting the solder in the through hole with just the wick, is it a particular brand you have success with?
I don't know why this was recommended to me but I'm glad it was 😮
I finally got a solder sucker a month ago after sticking with wick for so long, and I really wish I had gotten one earlier. They are so nice
Different purposes really, wick is still your friend.
Yow that soft tip is genius, My solder sucker is hard plastic but it's not sucking properly sometimes.
I used to (and still do occasionally) use a silder sucker like the one pictured. Then i got sn inexpensive desildering station (Yahua iirc?) and removing joints is now SO much easier!
Trying to desolder as a beginner is hell… I’ve burned the hell out of my mouse PCB trying. Hopefully it isn’t broken lmao
Was it broken?😅
@@jasonmanable pretty sure. I got a new mouse in the end. Learning to solder will be saved for another day I guess.
does the nozzle get clogged ever? and do you have to clean it often or not really?
good method for desoldering
very helpful thank you!
Beautiful
I can't do it if my life depended on it, and dear God I've been trying for dam hours and hours, everyday for the last month, lol. It liquefies,but I don't seem to be able to get the pump sealed over top of it fast enough
Add more like he said
That’s exactly how I did it last time. Used the same solder pump from Engineer.
My pump is plastic and has plastic nozzle too, so I can’t make a seal with it, but it still works
I have a question. Can i desolder the switch successfully without the soldering pump?
You can, but requires specific techniques, and equipment. Easy enough to do, I've seen it, just not qualified to give instructions
@@TheAMGReviewers thanks for the information. Also my keyboard switch broke off its pins on the main board, so now how can I desolder the broken pins that are still on the main board? I thought of putting the keyboard on a screw driver stand that puts constant pressure on the pin, would that have worked?
Thank you
In our country this thing is called as attractor
Thank you master
What if you just used a little bit of the desoldering alloy and then that so you have a little more time to suck it up
I use to think desoldering pumps sucked. But my friend told me to buy the same one you're using, and it's amazing!
Turns out the crappy plastic desoldering pump just really sucks. Who knew, lol
Thanks
Before using the solder and the pump, is it better to put flux first?
Got same question
Some videos say it helps, worth trying
do u have any alternative without using that? shops in my country doesn't seem to know that tool
What about desolder Vick?
Very useful
Anyone know at what degree it’s supposed to be? Mine maxes out at 480c and it doesn’t turn any of the iron into liquid it just heats it up.
Ur soldering wire must be bad. Buy a better wire and check if it has hole in the middle of the wire when you cut it with cutter. Middle hole contains flux.
I bought a bad wire before and i use 480 aswell. But when i bought a better wire, i just usually just solder around 360.
Expenses priority i think is
Wire > flux > multimeter > solder iron > pump > holder
How often do you need to push out the sucked-up solder from the pump? After every joint?
Every time you push in the pump, it ejects the sucked solder. Sometimes you may have to remove it's tip when it gets stuck though.
these engineer suckers always gets solder stuck on the tip from my experience, youre better off using those gigantic soldering pump (ds017)
What if the existing solder wont liquify? Is my soldering iron garbage?
Adding some more solder or some flux can help remelt stubborn bits. It could be your soldering iron isn't powerful enough, it might be worth getting an adjustable temperature one, I found even a cheap one with swappable tips to be a good improvement over the traditional ones.
How do i unclog an electric solder sucker?
I bought a cheap (25$) electric desoldering gun. Even with this, I find difficult to desolder some parts. There is always some sticky solder residue where there is no gap between the lead and the hole.
I use the wick to get these last bits out.
That's been my experience with the pump as well... typically a little solder still on the joint. Although it's a bit pricey, I switched over to a Hakko desoldering gun. That thing is a dream come true, so long as you clean it out.
I lost my pump I should get a new one
what happeneds if u dont resolder the switch will it still work??
no
Name of tool?
want it the big black dot at the back of the pcb called?
what keyboard is that?
Where does the solder go?
inside the pump. after a while you clean it.
Ahahah one of these pumps came with my soldering iron, but there’s no shot I can actually get it on the right spot accurately like that. Yeah maybe I should not do this
my pcp was black after i tried to desolder sth
Neat!
your desoldering pump just clogged
Or just buy a heated solder sucker. Theyre only like $15
he calls it sodas
It looks easy, but in practical, my hands trembeling 😅
Should’ve used some flux
Nah I just literally switched to soldering wick
Do you use flux on the solder first, or without?
@@ElohiSilverEarthVenturesYou can use the flux to do the job easier.
"LIQIFY"
solution? get a hotswap board or just get good
Thanks
