It depends if your 16W iron is big enough for the job? said:
50W? whoa!... does it mean that high temp will not harm any of the components? is the motherboard not sensitive as i think or maybe it depends on how long the components will be exposed with that amount of heat?
i'm using my 16W solder doing some projects, but when desoldering some recycled components like from speaker amplifier or replacing some components, i nid to hold the solder several seconds for the lead to be completely melted, well some other components were not harmed... somehow i have 20W for that job...
my problem is how long should i let the board be exposed to solder temp that other components be not harmed??? tnx
