Hey guys,
well Im back it making trouble for myself again. Im trying to remove this diode from the driver so I can press it into a module for a build. The solder wouldnt heat up even though my iron was very hot so I tried a trick that worked for me in the past of putting a small blob of solder on the tip to make better heat transfer to the pins and relase them from the driver but this happened.
solder got stuck all over the back of the diode.
2 concerns I have
1, how can I get this solder off the back of the diode without heating the hell out of the diode and damaging it?
2, Ill need to get it all off in order to be able to press the diode evenly with my diode press into the module. I have a solder sucker but its not that fine of a tip maybe 3mm.
this is an expensive diode. a 461nm. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
