Desoldering Pumps

A Desoldering Pump, also known as a solder sucker or solder removal tool, is a handheld tool used to remove excess or unwanted solder from electronic components, printed circuit boards, or other soldered connections. The tool consists of a cylindrical barrel, a plunger, and a nozzle.

The barrel is typically made of high quality plastic or corrosion resistant metal and is designed to fit comfortably in the hand. The plunger is a spring-loaded piston that creates a vacuum when depressed. The nozzle is a thin, metal tube that is attached to the end of the barrel and is used to direct the suction onto the solder joint.

To use a manual desoldering pump, the nozzle is first heated with a soldering iron until the solder is melted. The plunger is then depressed, creating a vacuum that sucks the molten solder up into the barrel. Once the excess solder has been removed, the pump is released, and the plunger returns to its original position. The solder can then be disposed of, and the process repeated as necessary.

Manual desoldering pumps are often used in electronic repair and rework, as they provide a quick and easy way to remove solder without damaging the surrounding components or the PCB. They are also commonly used in DIY electronics projects and in hobbyist applications.

Desoldering Pump is a must have tool for rework jobs and field repairing.
