Removing and replacing surface mount capacitors

When removing the old SMD caps, touch your iron to one of the pads and melt some new solder onto it. Immediately after, touch the other pad and make it puddle. Take your iron across both at the same time and sweep the SMD off the board. You should be left with two pads with a small amount of solder on each.

After removing the 3 electrolytic smd capacitors from a car ECU, I found some leakage, although not sure if this is the main culprit of the problem in my ECU, but I''d like to clean them. I tried 99% isopropyl alcohol but didn''t remove the leakage, can I use sanding to remove the leakage from the board?

Converting from Surface to Leaded Capacitors

If you replace enough leaked SMD caps, eventually you will encounter a broken trace or lifted solder pad. Depending on the damage, a few ideas for repair include: Wide traces can have their coating removed, and the component leg attached to the bare copper. A scratch pen, hobby knife, or medium grit sandpaper can be used to remove

I still have tha broken SMD capacitor, so possibly it can be soldered back to place, but the problem is, it also broke off with the tiny piece of copper pads. In one side, there is still left a tinny little fragment of it, so maybe it can work. On

How to Desolder SMD Components

Discharge Capacitors. Some components, like capacitors, can hold a residual charge even after powering off. To avoid surprises, use a resistor or capacitor discharge tool to discharge these components safely. Place the resistor across the capacitor leads and wait for the charge to dissipate. Confirm that the capacitor is fully discharged by measuring the voltage across it with

6 FAQs about [SMD capacitor repair]

How do you remove SMD caps?

How do I know if a SMT capacitor works?

It looks like it's in parallel with the other 3 SMT capacitors (and maybe the electrolytic) so you might find it works without it (up to a point) then if you get problems, measure the DC voltage across those capacitors and choose a capacitor of the correct voltage rating and take a wild guess at its value (say 100 nF).

How do you remove SMD from a board?

Immediately after, touch the other pad and make it puddle. Take your iron across both at the same time and sweep the SMD off the board. You should be left with two pads with a small amount of solder on each. Best bet is hot air gun designed for SMD if you have one. Should come off very easily.

How do I repair a capacitor?

A scratch pen, hobby knife, or medium grit sandpaper can be used to remove the coating and expose the copper underneath. Buy a scratch pen, it's the least clumsy way to effect this type of repair. Follow the trace to it's next destination. If it's another component, the capacitor leg can be soldered directly to it.

What happens if you replace SMD caps?

How do you loosen a capacitor?

Rock the cap back and forth to loosen or break the leads. This works reasonably well. The rocking motion should be perpendicular to the leads. Eventually the leads will break, or they will become extracted from the capacitor body, allowing you to break & remove the plastic wafer and have access to the legs.
