🔍 Key Concepts

• Heat damage to circuit boards and delicate components • Safe ways to remove molten solder from plated-through holes • Risks of mechanical force vs suction when cleaning holes

💭 Think About

• Which method removes solder efficiently while keeping both the copper plating and components safe from excess heat? • Which options risk lifting pads, cracking plating, or blowing solder spatter into unwanted areas? • Think about standard electronics repair practices: what tool is commonly paired with a soldering iron for desoldering components?

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate any method that uses excessive temperature beyond normal soldering ranges. • Be cautious of methods that apply sharp mechanical force directly to hole walls or pads. • Consider which method gives controlled removal of molten solder rather than scattering it.
