  • Desoldering device
    Patent number: 4767047
    Abstract: A device for removing a component from a substrate to which it is secured by solder. The device has a moveable member which defines a space to which suction can be applied. The space has an opening which can be positioned against the component so as to hold the latter to the moveable member by suction. Provision is made for applying heat to the solder to soften it. The moveable member is arranged such that the suction causes it to pull the component so as to remove it from the substrate when the solder is molten.
