desoldering
thumb|right|Solders can be removed using a vacuum plunger (on the right) and a soldering iron.
In electronics, desoldering is the removal of soldered components from a circuit board for troubleshooting, repair, replacement, and salvage. Desoldering involves breaking the soldered connection between component and board, typically by reflowing and removing the solder, allowing the component to be removed and potentially replaced if needed.
