a. Allow the soldering iron tip to reach normal temperature. (500
b. Heating the component lead until the solder melts.
c. Quickly draw the melted solder with an anti-static, suction-type solder removal device
with solder braid.
CAUTION: Work quickly to avoid overheating the circuit board printed foil.
6. Use the following unsoldering technique
a. Allow the soldering iron tip to reach normal temperature. (500
b. First, hold the soldering iron tip and solder the strand against the component lead until
the solder melts.
c. Quickly move the soldering iron tip to the junction of the component lead and the printed
circuit foil, and hold it there only until the solder flows onto and around both the
component lead and the foil.
CAUTION: Work quickly to avoid overheating the circuit board printed foil.
d. Closely inspect the solder area and remove any excess or splashed solder with a small
wire-bristle brush.
Remove /Replacement
Some chassis circuit boards have slotted holes (oblong) through which the IC leads are
inserted and then bent flat against the circuit foil. When holes are of slotted type, the following
technique should be used to remove and replace the IC. When working with boards using the
familiar round hole, use the standard technique as outlined.
Removal
Desolder and straighten each IC lead in one operation by gently prying up on the lead with the
soldering iron tip as the solder melts.
Draw away the melted solder with an anti-static suction-type solder removal device (or with
solder braid) before removing the IC.
Replacement
Carefully insert the replacement IC in the circuit board.
Carefully bend each IC lead against the circuit foil pad and solder it.
Clean the soldered areas with a small wire-bristle brush. (It is not necessary to reapply acrylic
coating to the areas).
"Small-Signal" Discrete Transistor
Removal/Replacement
Remove the defective transistor by clipping its leads as close as possible to the component
body.
Bend into a "U" shape the end of each of three leads remaining on the circuit board.
Bend into a "U" shape the replacement transistor leads.
