Repair / Re: Desoldering advice
« Last post by tooki on Today at 03:07:51 pm »It tested fine, all components under it tested good too. I used some 63-37 and wicked it off to remove the low MP alloy, then put the relay back in with some Sn Cu Ag stuff that melts at 237°C instead of using the 60-40 188°C stuff I usually use.I assume your SnAgCu is actually 227C.
Anyhow, in the future, I’d avoid mixing up all these alloys — or at least “rinse” with your final solder multiple times. In particular, what you really want to avoid is soldering with tin-bismuth after using tin-lead: lead lowers the melting point substantially, and can result in an alloy that melts below 100C!
