I'm looking for advice on how to properly de-solder a through-hole multi-pin jack from a board.
This is a "pod" type modular jack with two rows of three flat pins.
Mounting style is "through hole".
My question is about the right tool for solder removal, and a technique for cleanly removing the old jack.
I was able to remove the part with my Hakko 936 and a sucker bulb, but it was ugly work.
I'd like to know how to cleanly remove all the old solder without risking damage to the solder pads.
