In Reply to: How do you unsolder DIL8? posted by groman on January 5, 2002 at 05:45:32:
It really is worth investing in the proper tools. You can get an IC shaped bit for your soldering iron that heats all 8/16 pins up at the same time. Then pull out using the U tool suggested by John S. Finally, use a solder sucker to clean out the holes. Be very careful if the board is multiplayer and has plated through holes as manufacturers often use component leads for top/bottom connections. I have often seen the connection disappear up the solder sucker! You should also think about a lead dresser for ICs that square up the pins on each side to the correct pitch. They are not expensive. Alternatively, buy an inserter that acts like a syringe and also lines up the pins. I use a conducting plastic one which helps prevent static damage.Hope this helps.
