Introduction – Equipment Flux
Removes base, filler metal oxides Aids wetting process Rosin-based flux Availability
Separate paste Flux-in-core solder
Primary fume component…

Introduction – Equipment Soldering Iron
Solder melting heat source Power rating
Higher power ≠ higher tip temp Higher power heat larger joints 15-35W for electronic work
Various tips available Conical, chisel types Tip width ~ 70-90% contact width
Never use ‘cold heat’ irons on electronics!

Introduction – Equipment Solder wick
Braided copper strands Flux impregnated Absorbs solder when heated Remove excess solder Desolder components
Solder stand + sponge Always return iron when
unused Always clean tip
Remove burnt flux Remove excess solder

Introduction – Equipment Heat sink
Protect heat sensitive components Clip between component body and
iron Substitution
alligator clips Hemostat
99% alcohol + brush Clean joint residual flux Purity important

Procedure – Preparation Clean components
Remove dirt, grease, oxidation Causes unwettability Solder tend to bead up Component leads bright, shiny Solder pads bright copper color Fine steel wool, emery cloth

11
Procedure – Preparation Prepare iron
Plug in iron Dampen sponge Clean tip w/ sponge Apply solder to iron tip (tinning) Wipe excess solder Tip should be have silvery sheen

12
Procedure – Execution Place component
Bend leads to fit hole pattern
Insert component through correct holes
Clinch leads slightly outward to hold in place
Attach heat sink if needed

13
Procedure – Execution Solder component
Wipe iron w/ sponge Apply tiny solder amount
to iron tip Not solder to form joint Helps conduct heat
properly Touch tip side to BOTH
pad and lead Add bit more solder to
form heat bridge Wait for joint to be heated
(~1-2 sec)

14
Procedure – Execution Solder component (cont.)
Feed small solder amount from opposite side
Molten solder should spread and fill joint
Move solder away first Move iron away quickly Return iron to stand
Entire process ≤ 5 sec Wait additional 3-5 sec for
joint cooling

15
Procedure – Inspection Inspect joint quality
Good joint Shiny Bright Smooth Concave solder fillet Good wetting
![Page 16: Soldering Basics](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56813b5c550346895da451ce/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Procedure – Inspection Inspect joint quality (cont.)
Bad joints Balled up or spiked Dull color Crystalline or grainy
looking Convex solder fillet Dewetted
Causes Dirty leads, pads Movement during cooling Overheating

17
Procedure – Finishing Return iron to stand Cut excess lead length Clean residual flux w/
alcohol Prevent future oxidation Prevent unwanted
electrical shorts

Techniques - Desoldering Repair bad joints Remove solder bridges
Excess solder connects two pads, leads Unwanted electrical connection formed
Remove components Both require old solder removal
Place solder wick against solder joint Heat wick opposite side from joint Solder should wick up braid Remove braid first Remove and return iron to stand

Techniques – Wire Tinning Must tin wires before
soldering to components, board Attach heat sink just below
insulation Heat wire end Touch solder to wire
opposite iron tip Solder should wick up wire Too much heat damages
wire insulation
