Let's take apart some electronic board, computer motherboard for example. We wish to get electrolytic capacitors, chip parts (capacitors, transistors, microcircuits, ...), plastic plugs and sockets, ... - all parts in general. Relevant tools: hot air gun (big, for construction works), soldering iron, tweezers, spatula, mittens.
Capacitors are one of the main dangers when it comes to working on electronics. They store a potentially dangerous electric charge that they hold on to long after a device has been last used. Always discharge any potentially dangerous capacitor. Small ceramic capacitors are generally nothing to worry about, but larger electrolytic ones are.
Salvaging parts from circuit boards and electronic devices is unlikely to make you a lot of money, but it is a great way to expand the range of components in your inventory. In addition, it lets you practice your (de)soldering and reduces E-waste in the process.
Electrolytic capacitors in particular. Use a soldering iron with "knife"-type tip (K-type). Similar by means of the soldering iron with a "screwdriver"-type tip (D-type) and tweezers we can draw out gilded pins one by one. Before it you should to remove the plastic parts of such connectors.
Salvaging parts from electronic devices doesn’t only get you cheap components. It also comes with a bunch of other benefits that might not be immediately obvious. These are the most significant ones: When you desolder electronic components for reuse, you quickly build up a wide inventory of parts.
In Electronics Components Salvage, old appliances are a common source of parts if they are not available in local electronics shops. I have salvaged components mostly from old and damaged appliances because I don't bother to tamper the WARRANTY VOID stickers and I don't want to destroy the working appliances.
