There is another alternative for removing SMD mulit-legged devices, and it is called Quik-Chip. You apply the special flux and the supplied solder and the chip literally "floats" off its solder traces. One must be careful to clean up the area with alcohol - if you do not remove all the low temperature flux and solder, the new component will not stick to the soldering. You can get sample packages by asking. Google for links. 73, Don W3FPR On 12/19/2012 8:34 AM, Pete Smith N4ZR wrote: > Ir's always interesting to me that these components can withstand heat > from a hot air gun that is high enough to melt solder, but I have done > this often with a heat gun made for hobby stained glass work.
