Re: Hole Clogged

 

John, a quicker solution that doesn¡¯t risk damaging the board is to simply solder that particular lead to the top side of the board and let the plated-thru hole take the connection all the way through to the bottom. I recommend doing it this way before adding a lot more heat and potentially removing a pad.?

Good luck ¡­.Ron

Solder suckers work, de-solder braid works?

Tinning the leads of the new component, heating the PCB and stabbing the component leads one cat a time into the hole is also under-rated for coils etc?

if you must clear the hole with no other resources shave down a woodern cocktail stick and use that to break the surface tension in the hole
