What is worth desoldering from old electronics? || DIY Fume Extractor

Here is the converted text:

I started by cutting off the old connector and exposed the plus and minus wire of the fan then I also got myself an old 12 volt 1 amp linear power supply cut off the old plaque and stripped off the isolation as well.

I sold out plus the plus and minus 2 - used shrinking tube to protect the connections and plugged in the adapter to test whether the pan starts spinning then we're gonna need a simple carbon filter which will later get rid of most of the fumes. I just laid the fan on top and trace the outline very roughly with a box cutter with a bit of force.

I created my carbon filter square and separated it from its white layer then all we need to do is find out which side of the fan absorbs the air and which side spits it out we want to secure our filter to the exhaust side.

We'll cut bolts and nuts and it is done. Third cheap and effective but because I later realized that my filter is a bit Finn I made another square and use two layers of carbon filter in the end now that I know that I'm safe from all the fumes I can say that I used solely the soldering iron and a bit of soda in 80% of the disorder.

In cases anything with two or three pins can easily be removed by adding a bit of new solder and heating up everything at once many parts fall on their own but you can always pull from the other side to free almost any part. But if you want to remove components with more pins or pins that are just far apart you might want to get yourself some solder wick.

This way the liquid solder sticks to the copper ribbon instead of the solder joint or you can also upgrade to achieve the soldering pump which is useful if you need to remove a lot of solar fastly. But which components are worth your time you might ask well it always depends on what kind of projects you want to do but there are a couple of things I never Salvage that would include every SMD part doesn't matter whether it's nicey resistor or whatever they are just too tiny and fragile.

And I'm not too much into SMD anyway. I usually also avoid eye sees in dip form since they mostly have no sockets and it takes an eternity to dissolve every freaking pin. Also no resistors chemic disk capacitors and all the small stuff sinful acts are usually very short and you can get most of them for cheap simple wire and connectors are usually not worth it as well.

Of course there are exceptions like power cords B&C connectors or 3.5 millimeter audio checks which are definitely worth it but what I always love to salvage our coils all kinds of coils they can be the most expensive passive component and you never know when you're gonna need one.

The list of water always gets also includes Relays all kinds of heat sings which can be useful too for example cool down your voltage regulators which are also always salvaged different kinds of electrolytic capacitors foam capacitors motors switches push buttons and many components with this to-220 package and if you don't know what component it is then it is always helpful to have a computer by your side to Google the part number so you can decide easily.

Which ones would make sense to the solder and I also always save the screws when I take apart mechanical constructions trust me you never know when you're going to need a certain screw and there are always some let's say interesting ports like these high voltage transformer all those lenses which I keep for later even though I don't know yet what I'm going to do with them once everything is disordered.

We can build small piles and use a transistor tester to find out the value of the coils or test the capacitors and transistors at the end. I saw the parts depending on their value and put them in their corresponding tray you may not save a lot of money by doing this but if you are in a hurry and need a certain part this can be your rescue.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enif you're like me then you probably don't like to throw where your olds or broken electronic devices I always love to take them apart and have a look inside not only is it interesting to see how a manufacturer designed the circuit wiring and overall packaging but you can also salvage a couple of parts that might be useful for a future project so in this video I will show you what I think is worth the soldering and how to do this quick and easily let's get started first of all we're going to need a couple of old circuit boards and I certainly have collected quite a few of them over the course of about one year then we need the most important tool the soldering iron it doesn't need to be the most expensive one a simple one also does the job and if you're familiar with soldering then you probably also know that the fumes which arise especially during the soldering can harm your health we can get rid of them with a fume extractor but since we want to keep this cheap we can also build our own with a 12-volt PC fan I started by cutting off the old connector and exposed the plus and minus wire of the fan then I also got myself an old 12 volt 1 amp
