Re: Air Pencil Soldering Iron (Home made)
The soldering Iron is more for SMD soldering .. If you look at the 2nd page of the guide you will see linksys Network card that I am removing the main CHIP off of it. That is a surface mounted chip. For the Board that I was soldering the chip is what everyone is use to and will solder through the holes.
Re: Air Pencil Soldering Iron (Home made)
So I'm a bit confused here. Is the heat being transfered by the air being blown by the airpump across the iron tip or is the pump acting as a continious suction?
If it's the later, you're a better man than I with that 45W iron. I've never had much luck saving any component with an iron that hot. :D
