Tag terminal desoldering technique/s ?
I find desolder braid or vacuum suckers only work well enough on flat pcb
pads not bulbous solder and wire/s around tags of older stuff. Anyone have improvements or alternatives to the technique I use. Firstly assuming that the component lead length is not enough to cut and re-use further along the wire. So definitely a matter of desoldering and re-using what is there, maybe more than one wire , all quite properly, looped through the tag before the original soldering. The first thing I do is fix some small (ratchet clamping) medical artery forceps / angler's hook remover tool/s on the exposed bit of the metal of the wire/s up close to the tag to act as heatsinks to avoid melting the sleeving , due to prolonged solder-iron heating of the tag. Then with what I call a needle-probe, a large sewing needle, set into wooden dowel handle, I explore while melting the solder blob and unhook the "free" end of the wire/s and then pull through using the forceps. -- Diverse Devices, Southampton, England electronic hints and repair briefs , schematics/manuals list on http://home.graffiti.net/diverse:graffiti.net/ |
