No. You will overheat or burn the PCB. This is how *NOT* to do it: <

Personally, I prefer to use a hot air desoldering stations with an
aluminum foil barrier to protect nearby components. Lots of flux. A
solder sucker might tear the traces off the PCB. Tin all the
connections before soldering. Use alcohol to clean off the flux.
But a nomber of electronics academics shudder at the suggestion

I can't tell which one is appropriate for you. Micro USB connectors
come in very different configurations.
Note: I destroyed a few connectors and ruined a cell phone before I
learned how to do it properly. Find some old PCB's and practice.
