In Reply to: Heat effects on components posted by Pat on May 26, 2003 at 00:59:00:
Unlike semiconductors, passive components are very tolerant of the heat encountered in soldering. In particular the ceramic resistors on the output tubes pins 1&8 are very tolerant of heat. On the other hand they are somewhat susceptable to damage if you place too much mechnical force on the leads.The same goess for the ceramic caps - the "oil" is actualy wax coating and is of no consequence. Again, be careful to not place too much stress on the leads.
In cleaning the sockets and resoldering (hopefully you are installing new ceramic sockets) you should be certain to use the heat necessary to thoroughly clean and remove all old solder(an Edsyn solder sucker and some solder wick is recommended - see our DIY bible on the tech support page). Above al don't try to simply re-apply new solder over the original. The only heat intolerant component is the original PVC insulated wire - it melts very easily and is one reason why we recommend Teflon insulated wire.
