Soldering is one of the most fundamental skills needed to dabble in the world of electronics. The two go together like peas and carrots. And, although it is possible to learn about and build electronics without needing to pick up a soldering iron, you'll soon discover that a whole new wor...
If you're into building and repairing things, it won't be long before you come across the need to solder something. It'll either be a component that needs replacing on amotherboardor a wire that has come off or broken. Also:This is the perfect mini electric screwdriver But ...
The soldering iron in most of the pictures is made by Weller, and has a variable temperature control. This is the best of both worlds since you can set the heat exactly where you want it, but it's significantly more expensive than fixed-temperature irons. If you're just going to do so...
Using a soldering iron though, I really question getting down to 1/10th of a percent with a dilution. I think you really have to grind it down to do that and still leave enough copper on there, not going to be fun. A real challenge one way or another. Good luck P.C. ...
If static sensitive components are used, touch the soldering iron tip to a metal object before soldering to remove the static charge accumulated at the tip. Wires should be soldered firmly to prevent loose contact. Before soldering the wires, clean the bare wire with a blade to remove rust ...
A few weeks ago, as Tony (Pvt. Mutt) was nearing the end of his M-7 Priest build, he was pondering his next build. One of the possibilities was the Alan Marder IID kit that he had. As I had recently finished my Dragon Marder III Ausf. H, I told him I would like to see him...
to hold, blocked the vision of a technician from the chips to be soldered, powered by high voltages where transient leaks and switching voltage spikes put noise into the power lines (and damage SMD's if touched), or were re-packaged hot air "tools" inside of existingsoldering iron handles...
Can someone suggest a benchmark that would clearly demonstrate the relative strengths and weaknesses of one alloy over another?
soldering skills are only "average" as you can easily short the pack if you're at all sloppy or don't follow proper safety precautions. People have accidentally caused fires and/or injured themselves with lithium-ion cells so before beginning this project I want you to clearly understand the...
You'll need to use a knife or scissors, a burning match, and a hotsolderingiron. Please take appropriate safety precautions with these hot, sharp, dangerous things, solder only in a well-ventilated room, and so on. If you're a young person, ask an adult to help. ...
