Hi,
Does anyone have any good tips for desoldreing these SM caps without
damaging the pads?
I tried wicking each pad dry but the darned thing still took one of the
flimsy little pads off with it. Also would it be OK to replace a SM cap
with a similar value radial if I support the radial with a blob of silicon
sealer or something after soldering ?
Any help welcomed.



Two small soldering irons. The poor man's SM tweezers.
