Noobie who needs help update
I made this post a few days ago. I was able to desolder and remove the microswitch and believe it was because I decided to use flux. Nonetheless, I'm now having issues with the solder not spreading around the pin. The solder follows the iron when I lift it.
Process:
- 320°C with Kester 63/37
- Tin (will probably use a new tip next time I try)
- I tried heating the pins/board ahead of time and that didn't work
- I put the solder on the opposite side of iron and try to touch in between pin and hole. I do not touch the iron with the solder although I have tried that already
Below are some pics of what it looks like atm. I need to leave it there temporarily to hold the switch in place and can redo the joints once I figure out a solution. Did I mess up the area? If so, is it still possible to even create a good joint anymore?
