Recently I built aSMD reflow ovenusing a toaster oven and acontroller kit. This has made it really easy to solder up SMD PCBs (surface mount device printed circuit boards). You simply put blobs of solder paste on the pads, drop the SMD parts into place, put in the reflow oven and bake...
Hot Air Pencil Soldering for SMD's, Ceramic Capacitors, Glass Diodes and Surface Mount Chips. The ZT-2-MIL Hot AirPencil Made in the USA
and it forms an alloy layer at the interface of the metal to be soldered. At the same time, the alloy composition also determines the soldering temperature, so the alloy composition should be determined first. The alloy composition
it's often better to use a very thin piece of solder -- the larger then number, the smaller the gauge. For large components, thicker wire is recommended. Last, solder comes in other forms besides wire. When getting into surface-mount soldering, you'll see that solder paste is the form...
Second recommendation and as a preventive measure or general rule would be to always apply the home plate or bow-tie aperture design to all the stencils (all chip resistors and chip capacitors). I would say also that using the printing parameters to try to control the solder paste deposition...
Re: How to solder pinpoint leads to pinpoint traces? «Reply #2 on:February 18, 2019, 03:42:19 pm » The ground traces are the most difficult to heat up, as the ground plane is wicking the heat away. When soldering with a soldering iron, use a powerful enugh soldering iron, ...
Using a stencil is a common way to apply solder paste. A stencil ensures that we deposit the right amount of paste. We should deposit the amount of paste depending on the distance between the solder joints on the printed circuit board. For example, a five-ball rule recommends that a minim...

The basic process behind reflow or to provide its full name, infra-red reflow soldering requires that solder paste is applied to the relevant areas of the board. The components are then placed, and then the assembly is passed through a t...
Video: How to Place & Solder SMD's With Solder Paste & a Hot Air Pencil.This "how to" video familiarizes the viewer with actual placing and soldering SMD devices using aHot AirPencilandSolder Paste. Video shows traditional 63/37 solder paste, butRoHS lead-free solderworks equally well. ...
