I don't like having heat or margnetic fields around electriclal devices, but you have to solder things. So, what are the best methods for protecting components (or anything) from the heat of soldering when you have to solder them? (or heatgun, flame, whatever even)
What about the use of heat/thermal-shunts (clips, alligator clips, needle-nose)*? What are the rules there, and has anyone ever done an experiment/video (using probes or FLIR) on where the heat actually goes, over a length(s) of time at certain applied temperatuers?
*Example:"A small piece of beeswax may be placed between the protected unit and the heat shunt.
When the beeswax begins to melt, the temperature limit has been reached. The heat
source should be removed immediately, but the shunt should be left in place."
