Soldering Tip #6: Soldering wires together Twist the 2 ends of the wires together well enough that they have good electrical contact and won’t come apart during the soldering. Then apply the flux. Apply the hot soldering iron to the wires till the flux begins to boil, then apply the sol...
Wires should be soldered firmly to prevent loose contact. Before soldering the wires, clean the bare wire with a blade to remove rust or dirt. Apply some solder to the wire tip and make the soldering. After completing the soldering, double-check the joints for any shorting of leads. This ...
WARNING: Welding wires may expose you to chemicals including lead, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. This warning is posted because of the legal requirements of the State of California. For more information, please visit...
Whensoldering jewelry,for example, solderers would avoid lead solder (which can be hazardous to health) and opt for solder high in silver. The solder usually comes in thin sheets instead of soldering wires. Thosesoldering for plumbingare forbidden from using lead solder because of the potential ...
Temperature-controlled soldering irons recover faster to working temperature when dealing with heavy soldering work such as soldering thick wires together or too big connectors such as banana connectors or alligator clips. Soldering wires on a too big and wide ground plane on a circuit board may req...
To solder (v.) something together is to join two metals with a joint by melting a fusible metal alloy solder (n.). Solder has a low melting point, so soldering can be done at low temperatures. Soldering is useful in connecting electrical components such as wires and metal pieces to hardw...
If soldering a simple connection, like 2 wires, or a thru-hole lead, the flux in a flux core solder should be enough. For more complex soldering techniques, like drag soldering multiple leads on a surface mount component, additional flux may need to be added. The flux is activated and co...
materials (such as rubber) to prevent the heat of the tip from transferring to the outside of the wand, but they also house wires and metal contacts that transfer heat from the base or outlet to the tip. This dual role of heating and preventing burns makes a high quality wand much ...

also it is especially adapted to the removal of circuit components from such boards. This is accomplished by the melting and removal of solder from individual component lead wires or terminals as when applied in the manner illustrated in FIG. 3 where it will be seen that the solder fillet 38...
