I have been soldering for over 60 years and this is the first time seeing this. Thank You for this video.

[@Swenser]

looks like top notch low melt solder and great iron and tips. no problem with destroying parts. I'm a butcher. I use crappy solder, irons, and flame gas torch to get stubborn pieces off. One day, I'll learn to use quality equipment for a good job, but for now. I'm a chop shop butcher. Thanks for inspiring to do a more pro job.

The copper wire trick for the micro USB connector is brilliant and now permanently stored in my mental flash memory! Thanks!

[@DrZipZwan]

yes and no! Dont do that in case u intend to resolder that USB connector somewhere else cause, USB connector got plastic parts thats gona melt... or to not heat it much... What I do, I first desolder holding left and right pin that fixe the connector to the PCB, then desolder the rest 5 Pins, this why if it is done well the connector can bere-used 😉

I have 13 years of experience and are very used to soldering and desoldering and actually don't need to use a wide or elongated desoldering tip like in the video, just use a sharp tip. SMD components have 2 to 18 pins that can be removed easily, there are several components such as 8pin is opened by heating the body of the actual component is not recommended, but if the component is definitely damaged it is not a problem, but don't do it on good components

[@berfava]

After watching his video, I tried it myself when recapping an old IIci motherboard. It works well. This trick removed 12 corroded capacitors with no lifted pads or burned boards. Just use lots of flux (with an open window/fume extractor) and lots of solder (for thermal mass).

Да для варианта в полевых условиях самое то используя подручные средства, лучше не придумаешь

[@ВладимирСкорняков-з4р]

All of that looks really impressive (like Chinese magic ;-)), but a bit tricky for a beginner...;-) And there's still a big risk to damage the components while trying to remove them like this. BTW, you can also use Rose alloy instead of ordinary solder to reduce the operating temperature (it's quite a common approach).

[@ROBJECTS]

Ty friend!

[@eduardoavila646]

The only problem with that techinique is that you heat up too much the components. With a really controlled hot air unit you can reduce the stress in the heat-sensitive chips

[@jay22alco]

Not really. Depends on how tight the components are in the board and most component can handle that heat otherwise hot air will also damage other component with how they heat up not only the component you want to remove.

[@DestroManiak]

A dead component is one of the biggest reasons you might want to desolder something

[@TheHamster4430]

I could disagree with you. All temperature sensible components I've successfully desoldered and then soldered again are still working. I couldn't tell the same about heat gun...

[@losien1]

Your comment just proved how much you know about soldering... Although I do know both techniques this one is even safer than hot air as the heat is only provided to the soldering points - not to the core of a chip or PCB that acts as a heatsink like it is in the case of using hot air. Both techniques have their advantages and disadvantages but what you've said it totally wrong.

You are essentially heating the IC to the Solder melting point, then it transfers heat to the legs and to the pad too. That DPAK appears to be little bit difficult to remove with soldering iron.

What I do with QFP's is using the chisel tip to melt the solder and bend one pin up at a time, but remember to press the chip down while you're bending the pins so it doesn't lift any solder pad that's still soldered to other pins.

[@Sebastianstarmer]

It's good because: -You won't need a heater and it's very convenient - Careless use of heater may blow away smd components lying around the one you want to desolder. Its bad because: - Your use of solder and flux increases crazily - With heater you warm up the component gradually, but with iron you apply heat instantly to a very small point and you touch ic package directly All in all I like the idea👍👋

[@Cameron-qn3wz]

Overheating, destroy others parts.

Thanks for this! Are the components re-usable afterwards?

[@nelsonlobo3615]

Fried

[@eugenegrebionkin]

I think they are reusable. When desoldering using air, you also apply heat to whole component and not only its legs. So I think the temperature on the component is not so far from air desoldering

[@neilkurzman4907]

The resistors are probably reusable. With active components you run the risk of heat damage. But sometimes They work

[@eugenegrebionkin]

@@neilkurzman4907 well if we actually check the internals of ICs, we'll see that there are very thin wire going between the chip leg and the actual crystal. I don't think much heat can be transferred through it. So as for me, heating the IC's case is way more dangerous than heating its legs
