  • Desoldering tool and method of desoldering leadless components
    Patent number: 4436242
    Abstract: A desoldering tip, adapted to be attached to a standard pencil soldering iron, is formed with a recess adapted to closely fit over a leadless component soldered and adhered with an adhesive to a printed circuit board. Solder present in the recess attaches the component to the tool by molecular attraction. Once the solder and adhesive are melted, the component is readily lifted from the board with the tool. The component is then ejected from the tool.
