At present SMTWhen manually soldering or repairing, there are often excess parts on the circuit boardSolder pasteResidual solder Cleaning is very troublesome. Here, we will introduce to you a very useful tool Solder tape is a great helper in removing excess solder from circuit boards. But what are the correct ways to use solder tape? Now, let JJY Solder Paste Manufacturer introduce it to you:

Absorb the excess solder:

Before using the soldering tape, we need to prepare a soldering iron tip with a clean surface first. A clean surface of the soldering iron tip can more effectively conduct heat to the soldering tape and make it easier to remove excess solder. If it is used in a small circuit board area, it is difficult to draw solder and the operation is rather strenuous. At this time, we can consider adding a small amount of flux paste, which can perfectly solve this problem.

The common method of cleaning with solder tape is to place the soldering iron on the solder tape and then slowly drag it on the solder pad. Once the solder melts, it will be lifted by the solder tape until all the excess solder between the pins of the components is absorbed. After cleaning in this way, the circuit board will be very clean. Of course, when using it, we must pay attention to the force applied. If we deliberately apply too much force, it may scratch the pad itself.

Steps for removing solder with tin-absorbing tape:

1The width of the solder suction tape varies. When using a solder suction tape to remove solder, it is necessary to select a tape that is suitable for the width of the solder removal point. If the solder suction tape has already been used to remove solder, the saturated part of the previous solder suction should be cut off before the removal work can be carried out.

2Take a small amount of rosin from the tin tape and place it on the solder joint for desoldering. Make sure there is good contact.

3Place the heated soldering iron on the soldering tape, heat the solder joint to be removed by heating the soldering tape, and wait for the solder to melt. During this process, no pressure should be applied to the solder joint; otherwise, it may damage the components as well as the soldering iron tip.

4After all the molten solder has been absorbed by the soldering tape, remove the soldering iron and the soldering tape. Cut off the saturated part of the soldering tape that has absorbed solder, or you can cut it off for the next use.

Several issues to note when using tin-absorbing tape:

1The widths of the solder tape vary. When using the solder tape to remove solder, we should try to choose one with an appropriate width. If it is too wide, it may scratch other parts of the solder pad; if it is too narrow, it may not be able to remove the solder thoroughly.

2Place the heated soldering iron on the soldering tape, heat the solder joint to be removed by heating the soldering tape, and wait for the solder to melt. During this process, no pressure should be applied to the solder joint; otherwise, it may damage the components as well as the soldering iron tip.

3Place the heated soldering iron on the soldering tape, heat the solder joint to be removed by heating the soldering tape, and wait for the solder to melt. During this process, no pressure should be applied to the solder joint; otherwise, it may damage the components as well as the soldering iron tip.
