Soldering Techniques
WARNING
To avoid electric-shock hazard, and amplifier damage disconnect the amplifier from the power
source before soldering.
The reliability and accuracy of this plug-in can be maintained only if proper soldering techniques are used
when repairing or replacing parts.
The desoldering and removing of parts is especially critical and should be done only with a vacuum solder
extractor; preferably, one approved by a Tektronix, Inc. Service Center.
To prevent damaging the pins, use an extracting tool to remove in-line integrated circuits. A tool is available
from Tektronix, Inc; order Tektronix part 003-0619-00.
If
an extracting tool is not available, use care to avoid
damaging the pins. Pull slowly and evenly on both ends of the integrated circuit.. Try to avoid disengaging one
end from the socket before the other end.
When removing multi-pin components, do not heat adjacent conductors consecutively (see Fig. 3-6). Allow a
moment for the circuit board to cool before proceeding to the next pin.
