I removed some small electolytic capacitors from a modern circuit board to use elswhere which meant that the wires of the electrolytics were really very short. I then soldered some "extension" leads onto the electrolytics.
Of course, it's possible I may have overheated them.
This mead me think which components are more prone and which less prone to being overheated by the applying a soldering iron for too long or too close?
I guess at the top of the list is some sort of semiconductor. But what is the least prone? Resistors? Tantalum capacitors? Is there a hierachy of common components which can be listed?
And what happens when a type of component overheats? ISTR that resistors can lose up to one-third of their resistence. At least that was in the good old days and maybe it has changed now.
