DeSoldering station

Desoldering stations are great for removing solder to make repairs to components. Most have in-built vacuums to draw the melted solder away and keep the circuit board clean as you work. To use one, set the temperature required for solder removal on the circuit board. Desoldering requires application of heat to the solder joint and removing the molten solder so that the joint may be separated. Desoldering may be required to replace a defective component, to alter an existing circuit, or to salvage components for re-use.
