Wiring and Interface Notes
To use, press the plunger until it locks, then heat the solder joint with your soldering iron. Place the PTFE nozzle directly over the molten solder and press the release button to suck the solder away. Clean the nozzle with the included unclogging pin after each use to maintain suction efficiency.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this desoldering pump work with lead-free solder?
Yes, it works with both leaded and lead-free solder as long as the solder is fully molten. For lead-free solder, use a soldering iron at 350‑400 °C.
Can I use this solder sucker for SMD components?
It is designed for through-hole. For SMD, use a hot-air station; careful technique on larger pads may work.
