Desoldering Pumps

A desoldering pump is a hand-operated desoldering tool that sucks up solder melted with a soldering iron when its spring-loaded piston is released. It is used to remove the solder around a component lead when removing components from electronic boards, clearing solder from through-hole boards and repairing faulty solder joints. In this category, Weller SA-21A and Class ZD-192 metal-body desoldering pumps are sold individually. Choose the pump according to the body material, length and comfort of grip, the heat resistance of its nozzle and its suction power; if the solder residue that builds up in the pump nozzle is not cleaned, suction weakens. The pump does not melt solder and is used together with the soldering iron: while the solder is molten, the pump nozzle is brought close and the button is pressed. A desoldering pump is not a heat source; on fine board traces it does not always replace desoldering braid.
