Abstract: The purpose of this research is to provide a specialized tool for Soldering and Desoldering process that works faster with less effort and is more convenient to use where the desoldering pump that is manually-operated device used to remove solder from a Printed Circuit Board is modified and made as an electrically-operated device which is connected to the soldering iron as a one hand tool for doing both soldering and desoldering process. Its potential was assessed using variables namely, user-friendliness of the project, productivity, design acceptability, uniqueness, reliability to project operation, and wellness of automation. Experimental method was used in the study and a survey questionnaire was distributed to the 96 respondents in Dasmariñas, Cavite. All technicians were considered as participants of the study. The results show that in terms of productivity, reliability to operation, and uniqueness, the participants agreed that it possessed high-quality operation and that it has a significant difference between the existing and proposed soldering iron with desoldering vacuum. Hence, it can be concluded that the developed Soldering iron with Desoldering vacuum really can help to lessen the time in removing soldering lead in a mass production than using the old way of heating first then removing the soldering lead which causes slow flow of work. It is recommended that the workspace should be designed for precision since the soldering iron with desoldering vacuum is used by all technicians because it is something that is appropriate for soldering on delicate system boards such as other various small repairs on electronics to solder and desoldering connections and small components on an electric panel to use soldering iron with desoldering vacuum to most electrical appliances.
