desolder dip chip
Hello,
I've been trying to find a suitable desoldering solution to repair my boards with faulty 28-pin DIP multiplexers on them.
I've searched quite a bit and only found Leister's contactless desoldering stations which are extremely expensive.
I've been told that Weller and Ersa have products that have interchangeable tips for DIP sockets. They are high power soldering stations presumably, and when you change the standard soldering tip with a 28 piece one, the increased power enables you to heat all the pins of the IC at once and take it away with a tweezer.
I have found neither of the brands' products that match this description. Not only there is almost no reference to available tips, most of their soldering stations are 60W.
If anyone has any experience or know of a way to desolder a 28-pin DIP package, please let me know. If I can choose, I would prefer Ersa tips because I have Xytronic soldering station and Ersa tips might be compatible with it.
thanks
