I really liked the thick wire against the 5 pin connector.
It's so simple, but someone's got to come up with the idea. Thanks for that idea.
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. Yes it really is a simple trick and it does work so easily as shown in the video . It's much safer than trying to remove all the solder from the barrels around the pins. I'm glad you enjoyed it . Thanks again , take care 👍
That was my WOWEEE moment too!
Hi , thank you, I'm glad you found the video of use 👍
@@mrsolderfix3996 I haven't been in the situation yet, but when I run into it, I'm going to use it. This was (for me) so out of the box that it will be remembered.
So please go on and keep on surprising your viewers with new tricks :)
Hi , thank you for your comment, I will keep posting when I can , hopefully the videos continue to be of use to people . Thanks again , take care 👍
This is a FANTASTIC video! Makes what I have always believed to be huge problems look so easy to solve!
Hi , thank you for your comment, very much appreciated. I'm glad you enjoyed the video . If my channel can help a few people out with their soldering issues then that's great . Thanks again , take care 👍
Did a quick 2-soldering iron tutorial for SMD caps a few years ago, but it's nice to see someone else doing it too. It's good to see soldering techniques being passed on, it's the foundation for long-lasting work. I must find the time to do more videos.
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. I'm glad you agree on the 2 iron method , I just love using 2 irons for lots of different soldering situations. If you do start posting more videos I hope they go well for you . Thanks again for your comment , take care 👍
I have to say….. I used the two iron method before as well. Nice video I enjoyed it.
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated 👍
2 irons are awesome, i also realised with hands on approach that 2 heat guns can do also miracles for desoldering. I had to desolder 12 points toggle switches and some SMB connectors. With one, i fried the boards until they desolder, with 2 job done fast. Mind you about the switches, the footprint was wrong, they made contact but didnt pass through-hole. So they where soldered with 138 degrees paste poured all over the contacts on a hot plate. So it was not as strong bind as if the switch fit the footprint.
Your channel is the first channel attracts my eye and not waste time to watch your video. Your are really straight forward and practical, while other videos with the same subject drives me confused. They talk too much about tools, theory, and impractical. But your channel is straight forward, I can copy and do it on my own after watching your video with ease. I was curious much on how to repair the PCB, and one of your videos solved my curiousity. Hope you can have more videos on how to repair and rework the PCB.
Hi , thank you for supporting my channel , your time is very much appreciated . If my videos can help a few people out with their soldering / desoldering issues then I'm happy . I will always post some more videos when I get some spare time . I'm glad you enjoy my channel , thank you again for your kind words , take care 👍
You have a great calm style of explaining - super clear - thank you!
Hi , thank you for watching the video and commenting , very much appreciated 👍
That single row pin connector trick was amazing ! Cheerz .
Hi , thank you for your comment , much appreciated. Yes it does work really well and can work for some 2 row headers if all the pins are close together and can be heated at the same time. Thanks again , take care 👍
Nice work! I can’t believe I never thought of applying additional flux to solder braid or of using aluminum tape to shield other components! Thanks for a great video.
Hi , thank you for watching the video and commenting , very much appreciated . I'm glad you found the video of use , great to hear that . Thanks again , take care 👍
Very hypnotic watching the best methods of removing all those components. Great video 👍
Hi , thank you for watching the video and commenting, very much appreciated. I'm glad you enjoyed it . I've posted a few other removal videos with another one being posted shortly , hopefully these can help a few people out . Thanks again , take care 👍
Another fine instructional video. It looks like you are using a cable tie end as an applicator for the flux. That's good use of materials at hand.
Appreciate one really important reminder: be patient. Thanks for another great video, Mr. SF
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. I'm glad you enjoy the videos , take care 👍
You are the man, takes a lot to show me something I don't know and that's what you have done
Hi , thank you for your comment , very much appreciated. I'm glad you enjoyed the video , I'm still seeing things these days that I've never seen , I've always said no one knows everything , but if we can all share knowledge and ideas then that would be great . Thanks again for your support , take care 👍
Never thought of two irons. This opened my eyes! Thanks for sharing!
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. I love using 2 soldering irons together, this method is so easy for certain situations. In fact I posted a complete video on TH-cam a while back dedicated to the 2 iron method. Thanks again for your support of my channel , take care 👍
Another great video, i especially liked the two iron method, that will come in handy as i have a few to replace on some Roland synth expansion boards, also the trick of using the wire to increase the heat coverage from the single iron, simple but so effective! Thanks again.
Hi , thank you for your support of my channel , very much appreciated. Hopefully I can help a few people out with my videos. Thanks again , take care 👍
Really helpful video. Using the bit of wire for the connector is a great idea. I have a 4 day SMT rework course coming up and this has helped me get a head start. Cheers
Hi , glad you enjoyed the video . I've got plenty of other videos on soldering on my channel ( you probably know this ) the claritys got better as I've gone along . Maybe some of these can be of use to you . I hope you get on ok with all your courses , projects etc , thanks again , take care 👍
Loved that! The two iron job is great. Well done Guv!
Hi , thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video 👍
Very informative .... I've been trying to remove electrolytic caps on a retro console without damage and this video illustrates some very good practices. Thank you for sharing
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. I'm glad the video proved helpful to you and hopefully you get on ok with your soldering projects. Thanks again , take care 👍
I always tell people to use much more solder to desolder than to solder. An important reason to clip off the used solder braid instead of just working your way up to clean braid is that the used braid draws away the iron's heat, and you don't want that to happen.
This is the only one in the series I've seen as yet, but it's clearly a very good instructional video series with professional video standards, and I will suggest my soldering class students watch it. Thank you.
What camera setup are you using for these great close-ups of what's happening? It looks like it's perfect for this kind of work, and for inspection as well.
And it is always a good idea to minimize any tool or materials (i.e. flux, hot braid) contact with the wafer board. Non?
Hi , I personally use lots of flux , soldering is so much easier and you will definitely get better joints with flux without it you will struggle at times. Thanks for your comment 👍
@@mrsolderfix3996 You are very welcome. I remember when I started, the flux residue could cause damage. I was curious if you had a preferred cleaner to use ? Thank you for your attention.
Hi , thank you for your comment. The flux I have used for many years is SMFL200D , a non clean , non corrosive flux , so if any remains on the PCB after cleaning you will be ok . Unfortunately it's been discontinued recently. Old style flux if left on could cause electrical shorts as it could cause joints to grow solder fingers , but that was long ago.
I have posted a video on TH-cam showing my preferred cleaning fluids and how I clean boards . All the information is in that video . Thanks again, take care 👍
Today was the first time I found your channel, as an old tech dog I was still able to learn a couple of new tricks. That encouraged me to subscribe to your Channel. My early days of triodes and transistors was no preparation for smd work. Enjoyed your video.. keep it up. Thanks again.
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. I'm glad you found my channel and enjoyed the video . I've tried to improve my videos as I've gone along ( my early ones are definitely not as clear as my later ones ) , hopefully some of them prove useful for you . Thanks again and good luck with any soldering projects you take on 👍
Great video. Anything with 8 or more pins has been a pain in the past, but these methods should make it much easier.
Hi , it definitely is a good method . I will probably post another video on TH-cam soon showing more examples of where this method can be used . Thanks again for your time , take care 👍
Really excellent tutorial - lots of must know tips and tricks! Thanks so much.
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, hopefully it can help a few people out with their soldering issues.
I've posted a few rework videos on TH-cam now with other great methods that may be of use . Thanks again , take care 👍

Bow Wow ❤
I've never seen the use of two soldering irons. It looks like a really quick and effective way to remove components. I definitely got to give it a go, thanks!
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. I love the 2 iron method so much that I've posted a complete video on my TH-cam channel showing all the benefits of using 2 irons . Is definitely one of the best things to help with soldering I've ever learnt. Thanks again , take care 👍
@@mrsolderfix3996 Oh fantastic! I'll take a look. Thanks a lot!
Hi , no problem , thanks for your support 👍
I've seen devices that have, essentially, a tweezer thing on a soldering iron lol. Achieves the same result, but if you have a second iron, no point in buying a third!
Hi . You can buy soldering tweezers but personally I much prefer using 2 irons as if you need to for example bring the irons in from different angles you can do , whereas with the soldering tweezers you cannot achieve this , so for me 2 irons is a much better option.
Thanks for the informative video, you make it look so easy :) Sometimes I encounter SMD resistors, capacitors and even chips that are glued to the board and at times its a nightmare to remove them. ( I am mentioning the little glue bead under the component). I am asking if you have any method when you come to removing glued components. Thanks.
This is amazing, you make it look so easy, I'm new to this stuff and I still have trouble wicking away solder, it doesn't seem to melt :( but I'm getting much better each try! thanks for posting this up!
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. The more you can practice your soldering you will definitely get better . The main things are a decent iron tip , correct size solder for the job you are doing and flux . Hopefully I cover a lot of the things that are important in my videos so stick with it and watch yourself improving daily. Thanks again , and good luck with all of your soldering projects in the future 👍
Try soldering the wick just a little to help get the heat transfer started. Once the flow starts it will slurp it right off the component/board.
Brilliant technique and excellent photography. I enjoyed learning something new, thank you. All the best.
Hi , thank you for watching the video and commenting , very much appreciated . I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful , hopefully it can help a few people out with their desoldering issues . Thanks again , take care 👍
Loved the 5 pin TH trick basically taking out of the board. Great stuff!
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. I'm glad you enjoyed the video , the wire trick along the pins really is a simple effective method . Hopefully these rework methods and ones shown in my other videos can help people out . Thanks again , take care 👍
These videos are super helpful!
Hi , thank you for your comment , it's very much appreciated . All I want to do is help a few people out with their soldering / desoldering issues , if I can then that's great . Thanks again , take care 👍
Not a solder pump insight. Nicely demonstrated. 👍🇬🇧
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. I'm not a big fan of solder pumps , I've probably mentioned it in a few of my videos , I much prefer solder braid , personal choice I guess. Thanks for watching , glad you enjoyed it , take care 👍
I've been contemplating how to remove a battery that is soldered onto a circuit board. It has two tabs, one on each side. Your suggestion to use two soldering irons is, well, brilliant!! Now I can't wait to get to it. Thank you!
Hi , thank you for your comment. 2 irons is a great method that I use a lot . Just be careful with your battery as sometimes they can overheat and pop , hopefully you will be ok . If you do it fairly quickly should be fine. Thanks again , take care 👍
When desoldering a battery, be sure to wear eye protection; I've encountered battery-electrolyte leakage that sparks and spits when heat is applied to the solder joints, even when the battery measures stone-dead. BTW, If the battery has any voltage left on it, cut the battery out with side cutters if possible and unsolder the two terminals separately,
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. Definitely good advice you've given there , we can all help each other so thank you for that 👍
For the electrolytic capacitors I found if they are really old and have leaked on to the board it is easier to put some pressure on the cap and then just cut them with some wire cutters near the bottom and just pick off the left over.
What temperature do you tend to run your iron at?
Brilliant as ever, always something to learn from your videos thank you. Shared on twitter incase it's helpful to anyone.
Hi , thank you for your support of my channel and for sharing it. I don't really do enough to promote the channel , maybe I should do a bit more so it's been

Hi , thank you for your comment, very much appreciated. I'm glad you enjoy the videos , if I can help a few people out with their soldering issues then that's great. Thanks again , take care 👍
amazing video , what pads you use to clean the board , and what temperature do you use on the soleding iron
Hi , thank you for your comment , much appreciated . The cleaning pads I use are called Gtek dry wipes from a company in England called Grove Sales . Unfortunately I don't think they ship these overseas . The cleaning fluid I dip them in is called Ultrasolve .
The irons I use in my videos are Weller TCP S , which are 50 watt . If I'm doing leaded soldering I use about 330 degrees Celsius and for lead free I use about 360 to 370 degrees Celsius . Hope that helps , thanks again for your time 👍
Just brilliant, wonderful. Thank you for sharing.

Hello, I really enjoyed the video and the explanations. I am not a professional in the field and I wanted to please ask what is the reason for putting FLUX before heating with hot air or working with a soldering iron ? Thanks in advance
Hi , thank you for your question. Solder already has a thin core of flux inside it but as soon as it's heated it tends to burn away before the joint is fully formed . Adding a layer of external flux before soldering extends the flow time giving you a much better chance of a nicely shaped , flowed joint . If you ever have solder spikes and your struggling to get rid of them add flux , reflow and they will be gone . Hope that helps , thanks again 👍
@@mrsolderfix3996 Thank you very much for the detailed and professional answer

Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. I will hopefully post another video shortly showing a few more removal methods . Thanks again for your support 👍
Nice information and techniques, as always!
I've had trouble with the heat gun melting solder in the small parts surrounding a big chip I was trying to remove. I get the impression from your demonstration that I should concentrate more on the "inner" parts of the big chip; maybe just a little air out onto the pins, but... most of the heat is going to flow through the chip's package out into the leads, instead of trying to heat up the pins directly. Does that make sense? Is it right?
Hi . I occasionally get small parts surrounding the IC that's being removed melting as well so if I'm worried parts will shift I usually put a silver foil tape ( sticky backed ) over these parts protecting them from the heat so the solder on them won't melt. Some people use Kapton tape for this but heat will go through Kapton and the parts will still unsolder and potentially move.
You are right , go round the edge to warm the area then concentrate on the centre .
Hope that helps 👍
Nice vid. What magnifier are you using?
That was first class of work..., Sir....what is your microscope brand.. I'm planning to go for one. Thank you very much indeed.
exactly what I was looking for, thanks a lot!

excellent thank you!
Hi , thank you for watching the video and commenting , much appreciated 👍
Some pretty interesting methods. If you are not looking to replace any of those components back on, you always have the option to cut the leads and remove the component and than remove the individual leads one at a time... Done that a lot...
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. Your right cutting the legs is an option if you don't need the component anymore. I actually showed this exact option in one of my earlier videos ( 4 ways to remove smd IC ) and like yourself I too have used this method on numerous occasions . The one thing I would remind people is check whether the part has a thermal pad underneath because then you would need the hot air rework method . Thanks again , take care 👍
Fantastic sir, very best method s,to removing electronic parts, very very good 💯😊 thankyou sir

Magic Video!!!! Thank you!!!🙂
Hi , thank you for watching the video , much appreciated. I'm glad you enjoyed it and hopefully found it useful 👍
Great video and techniques!
I've in the past, used the wire technique for removing smaller QFN & SOIC chips too (doesn't work on those with thermal pads obviously) because I didn't have a hot air gun.
You'll want to use a slightly thicker solid core wire and bend it into shape around the pins on all sides; then flood the pins and wire with flux and solder and use the iron to heat up the wire and keep the solder molten and just remove the chip.
That was my poor man's technique since cheap hot air rework stations weren't a thing back then - Aliexpress and the likes weren't a thing so a 'cheap' hot air rework kit would have been in the hundreds of dollars.
Hi , thank you for watching the video and commenting , your time is very much appreciated . It's always nice to hear other people's soldering experiences , the more we put out there the better for people looking for answers . Thanks again , take care 👍
Very good. I'm personally not too worried about pads. As long as I keep the force to a minimum, to just be able to lift the component
Hi , thank you for watching the video, very much appreciated 👍
Excellent tutorial
Hi , thank you for your support, very much appreciated 👍
I'm an old timer, I have an older Weller station that was for older vacuum (Valve) technology and also used for early transistor technology. It has tip temperatures in the 700f range.
Now with SMD I have a lot to learn.
I've been watching many of your videos and have learned a lot. I've also subscribed.
I do have a few questions, if you don't mind.
I see I'll have to buy a lower temperature soldering station. Is there any particular Flux and braid you can recommend?
I have a liquid rosin Flux I assume that will do. I see the braid is about 2mm wide, will that suffice for surface mounting removal and pad cleanup?
Thank you I certainly appreciate any assistance you can give.
Regards and Thank you.
FYI, I've heard this host say in another video he uses a setting of 380⁰C (716⁰F) -- he sounds like he's from the UK, which uses metric most of the time.
@@oahuhawaii2141 Thanks for temp tip, it was looking so easy, I tried sticking to 350°C, that's why it looks faster/easier I guess
Cool guide! What flax you use?
hi, amazing videos, i used to work, and i do for training and for hobby, fixing my old stuff, i have a project to rebuild and old technics amplifier, but most modern circuit, multilayer and big ground pads for disipattion has been very struggling for me, i want to know, what brand of tin, braid, and if you use tin sucker for clean pads, because it's no easy to clean the with sucker even without the pin inside
what do you use to clean after desolder? what's the white cloth
thanks for this. i have some boards i have made mistakes on and need to redo
Hi , thank you for your comment. I've posted a few rework videos on TH-cam now , hopefully some of the methods I've shown throughout these videos can help you out with your soldering reworks . Thanks again , good luck 👍
Very nice video, just curious what you have the temperature set for both the heat gun and/or the soldering iron to remove the components?
Hi , thank you for your comment , much appreciated. In this video the iron was set to 340 degrees Celsius as leaded solder was involved , if it was unleaded then I would have used roughly 360 - 375 degrees Celsius.
The hot air gun was set to 375 degrees Celsius. I use a Quick861DA hot air rework station. Hope that helps , thanks again 👍
First of all: Thank you for the wonderful desoldering tips! I wonder how you would extract an old- fashion port, like a DB9 or a Centronics port? It is usually fastened to the board with expanding prongs and soldered to the holed pad in an expanded state.
Hi , thank you for your comment. Hopefully Im thinking of the right connector that you mention DB9. I've removed many connectors with expanding prongs at each end . The first thing I do is on the top side of the connector I cut through the prong pin at each end , this enables you to then turn the board over and simply heat up the prongs and easily lift them out of the holes . Then clean out these holes with solder braid or a solder sucker . That's stage one , I never try and pull the prongs back through the hole the way they went in , you will destroy the barrels.
You can then either heat all the small connector pins up together with a heat gun and drop out or again cut them on the topside , pull them out one by one then again wick out . Like I say I hope I'm thinking of the connector you asked about . Good luck , take care 👍
For tru-holes, thre are also tools with tubes like syringe needles that you put on each pin while turning when you heat the solder.
The solder doesn't stick, so you end up with a pin separated from its solder. Repeat for each pin, and your connector is free.
Never seen a video on this technique though.
@@esspe2 Ah, yes, I think I actually have a set of those from China in a rather flimsy plastic case. I forgot that I had them, thank you for reminding me.
Home made de-soldering braid, you get an upvote and sub. Excited to see what other goodies you have.
Hi , thank you for your support, much appreciated. Hopefully you find some of my other videos of use . Thanks again , take care 👍
I like and how you did the electrolytic cap with the pliers. Mr. Carlson's lab showed him twisting them off in one motion, but I've seen pads get lifted that way. I'd much rather take your gentler approach.
Hi , thank you for watching the video and commenting , much appreciated . Twisting the larger ELECTROLYTIC caps off gently , side to side has worked for me so many times . Never taken a pad off . Tried all methods , for the large ones 100% the best way
Thank you again for your support , take care 👍
Do you have any advice about obtaining good value tools? How do I purchase a chip kit, so I can replace parts with new ones? What are they called? Thank you.
I had a scrap board that I wanted to retrieve most of the components - not all, but most. I got the in line connectors off using a soldering iron tip I modified - filing it square and putting a slight bend it it so it would contact more pins. I used the gas hob in the kitchen and lit a very small flame , then put the board solder side down. After a minute, everything started to slide and were easy to pick off.
