What's the best way to open an OCXO in the typical solder-sealed tinned
steel can?
Use a high wattage iron to melt the solder at one point, prise the gap
open with a flat screwdriver, then work along the join.
Solder is soft. so once you get it started you should be able to roll it
open

What's the best way to open an OCXO
Hi
If you are tossing the can, a mill is by far the best way to open up an OCXO.
That of course assumes you have a mill…
It’s not a chip intensive process. You can easily do it with an X/Y table on a
drill press. Of course that assumes you have all of that stuff….

IMO, the easiest way (non-destructive too!0 is with a high wattage iron or
250 W gun, solder wick or a solder sucker, and an X-Acto knife.
Start in the middle of one side. Heat the joint area and suck out as much
of the solder from the joint area as you can. Slip the knife in the joint
and pry
Hi
I use wire cutters like on a Morion I find a small lip and start pealing it
away. No trauma for the OCXO and simple.

One thing about soldering that many people don't know is
that the solder is attracted to the hottest part of the joint.
If you apply the soldering iron to the side of the can, the
solder will be sucked down into the can, leaving a gap where
the lid meets the can...
So, if you want to solder a
In general, I sandwich the solder wick between the joint and the iron. In
such a joint, the solder is mostly at the edge of the joint:
==OO --- Solder bead

You don't really want to heat the thing so the solder flows into the joint
more deeply.

I've not opened on of these cans but I have opened some shield audio
transmitters. I just use my Hakko temperature controlled solder station at
a high setting and work my way around the edge. It can be done
non-detructivly. Solder wick helps a lot, use a bunch of it to get rid of
the excess

What's the best way to open an OCXO in the typical solder-sealed tinned
steel can? I don't mind destroying the can itself, as long as the innards
are not harmed. The goal is to run some experiments with thermal impedance
as discussed here last week, and to ovenize parts of the EFC controller for
13 matches
