Rugged desoldering pump

5 August 2009 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

This new desoldering pump from AP Electronics is built to be strong and offer long usage life. The main body is made out of aluminium with high-quality anti-slip finger grips. The tip is made from reinforced nylon-mixed ABS, which is resistant to high temperatures.

Inside, the action pump mechanism is a strong spring loaded system to ensure a powerful sucking action. The tractor action is enhanced by the rubber ring around it, which ensures that there is no air leak while travelling inside the cylinder. The pump is quick and easy to reload so that once the target area has been heated, the pump can be reloaded several times to remove large amounts of solder.
