A temp controlled device is essential for these larger items.
I use a combination of pumps and solder wick.
Get into the habit of using needle nose pliers to move those headers, not your bare hands. :D
The easiest way to solder multi pin connector?
Hello,
I am going to move 2 connectors from A row to B row as shown in the picture. 1 connector has 3 pins, the other has 4 pins.
The B row already has some lead there (no pin or connectors attached).
Could anyone help with my questions:
- what is a good and clean way to desolder pins (7 pins in total) in A row. I know that desoldering braid and flux can help. Is there a better way?
- after this desoldering, how should I solder 2 connectors (1 connector has 3 pins, the other has 4 pins) to row B using the existing lead on the PCB?
Thank you.
