| + | [title] How to desolder using a solder wick |
|---|---|
| + | [* icon_note] You're going to melt the solder joint ''through the wick'', allowing the wick to draw the molten solder into itself. |
| + | [* black] Apply a bead of [product|IF317-056|flux|new_window=true] to the solder joint. |
| + | [* black] Place a clean portion of the solder wick on top of the solder joint. |
| + | [* black] Press the soldering iron tip firmly against the wick for 2-3 seconds. You're trying to heat the wick hot enough so that it melts the solder underneath it. |
| + | [* icon_caution] If you heat the circuit board continuously for more than 10 seconds, the excessive heat may damage the solder pad. |
| + | [* icon_note] If the wick doesn't draw solder, you may need to increase the temperature. The wick may also be oxidized due to age—apply more flux or try a newer roll of wick. |
| + | [* black] As the solder saturates the wick, slide the wick so that a new portion touches the joint. You'll know it's saturated when the wick's color changes from copper to silver. |
| + | [* black] Once most of the solder has soaked into the wick, lift the wick and tip away together from the joint. |
