Hello,
I want to ask if someone could help me with my big mistake cleaning/resoldering 0201 filter on my board..
My mistake was: Taking Sn 0,3Ag 0,7Cu 2%Flux solder wire at the place of my standard 60/40 or 63/37 solder wire with the same little diameter.
I have a terrible mess around my element pads etc.. and I tried to clean it with solder wick (2 types) of course with flux, but this thing won't stick and get off of my boards.
It melts very slow with 420-450°C and go back(hard) immediatly (2 times faster than standard tin)
I tried to add a little bit of standard 60/40 solder to easier suck it with solder wick, but this thing still won't get out... I can melt it and move a little on sides etc but I have absolutly not idea how to get it out from my board. (Remember it's 0201 element so I have to be carreful with other parts next to it.
I have 2 different quite good irons with smaller and bigger tips and AmScope SE400-Z microscope so I think, I have enough of basic hardware to do it, but absolutly no more ideas for that bad situation.
PS: I'm amator still learning and I don't have hot air station.
Sorry for very bad quality of photo - taken with temporary old smarphone, in real it's mutch better and clean view.
I will appreciate a lot any kind of help!
Thank you and have a nice day!
