Soldering Tips- No iron is complete without an iron tip. The tip is the part of the iron that heats up and allows solder to flow around the two components being joined. Although solder will stick to the tip when applied, a common misconception is that the tip transfers the solder. The ...
It's nice to have a safe place to put the soldering iron down in between soldering. A soldering stand safely holds the iron and gives you a place to clean the tip. Some soldering irons come with their own holders. If yours doesn't have one, you can buy one or make one.jaime9999has...
clean the pads flux the pads tin the pads with soldering iron sufficiently that there is enough solder on them as will be required total, that is, a small hill of solder on each pad flux it again flux the connector use hot air to heat the solder until it's molten ...
Flux is a component of solder paste and solder wire used for electrical soldering. This helps to keep the surfaces being soldered clean and stops the hot solder from oxidizing. The composition will change whether the flux is in a paste, wire, led, or unleaded solder. The major contribution...
And I still need to clean it up. Another example of DML over engineering using 20-25 parts but I love the result. Only thing I didn't like where sprues were... very visible even tho they have been sanded real good. I need your help again... this time I want to add wires to...
This iron stand is basic but useful and important to have. The iron stand prevents the tip of the iron from touching the flammable materials or leading to accidental injury to the hand. Majority of soldering stations feature this and also comes with a brass sponge to clean the soldering tip...
Compared to soldering, solder seal connectors simplify the repair by eliminating steps. You don’t need to tin both wire ends, you don’t need to hold them still while soldering them together, and you don’t need to use a soldering iron. You just use a heat gun, which you’d use any...
Clean rag. For a comprehensive explanation of hot air removal, check out myHeat Gun Paint Stripping 101. However, if you just want a seriously brief overview, here’s the method. Warm your heat gun up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Some don’t have an exact temperature feature, so you need...
The soldering tool has a pointed heated metal tip and an insulated grip. How clean your soldering iron’s tip is will affect how well it solders. Before soldering components and creating soldered connections, the user will grip a soldering iron then clean the tip with a moist sponge to ensu...
One of the solder terminals on the fuse holder was melted into the holder (too much heat when soldering in the factory I guess). Several of the AC wires had been damaged when being stripped and barely had any strands left soldered in place. Two of the wires broke just due to my movin...
