CONST 150 LAB 1 SOLDERING
SOLDERING SAFETY TIPS
• Wear eye protection.• Work in a well-ventilated area.• Do not put wires or solder in your mouth.• Wash your hands when you are finished.
BASIC REQUIREMENTS• Clean metal surfaces• Clean, tinned soldering iron• Correct solder and flux• Correct temperature and time
The actual methods used depend on the toolsand materials at hand, the physical nature of theparts and boards, and the skill of the worker.
Electronic hand soldering is typically accomplished by quickly heating the metal parts to be joined, and then applying flux and solder to the mating surfaces. The flux is often supplied automatically by using wire shaped solder with a hollow core. The flux is usually rosin and is contained within the core. A finished solder joint is a metallurgical bond. Soldering forms an electrical connection between the parts and a mechanical joint. Heat is supplied with a soldering iron or other means. The flux is a chemical cleaner which prepares the hot surfaces for the molten solder by dissolving any oxide films on the metal parts. Also, and perhaps more importantly, the flux coats and prevents the heated base metals from oxidizing. The solder is a low melting point alloy of non ferrous metals. The melting point of most electronic solder is approximately 370 °F and the iron tip temperature is around 650 °F or more.
When an alloy, such as solder, is heated it typically goes thorough three phases. It goes from a solid phase to a plastic phase (halfway between a liquid and a solid) and then to a liquid phase. Eutectic solder is an alloy with no plastic phase. The eutectic alloy is made up of 63% tin and 37% lead. The plastic phase is not desirable because additional heat is required to reach the liquid phase and the additional heat can damage parts and circuit boards. Eutectic tin/lead solder has the lowest possible melting temperature (361 °F).Eutectic solder changes to a liquid just above the melting point and, as it cools, it will transform directly into a solid. This makes it possible to quickly form superior solder joints. A 60% tin and 40% lead alloy can also be used. This alloy shows an almost eutectic change from solid to a liquid and has a melting range of 361 °F to 374 °F.Another alloy is available that uses 62% tin, 36% lead and 2% silver. It has a melting range of 354 °F to 372 °F. It is preferred for surface mount chip components because it prevents silver from leeching from the components into the solder joints.
Common mistakes:1. The metal parts are not clean.2. The solder or the flux is not the correct type.3. The soldering tip is too small for the joint.4. The iron was not up to temperature or its wattage rating is too small.
Some additional troubleshooting tips follow.1. The solder won't wet (take) because grease, corrosion or is dirt present,clean up the parts, pads, wires and terminals.2. The solder won’t wet because the material is not suitable for soldering, a special solder and/or flux might be required.3. The joint is dull or grainy looking because a part or a wire moved before freezing, physically stabilize the assembly in a holder or by other means.4. The joint is dull or grainy looking because the joint was improperly heated or flux islacking.5. The solder joint has a spike because it was overheated and all the flux burned off.

SINCE ALL UTILITY POWER SUPPLIED IS ALTERNATING CURRENT( A/C)AND ALL ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS RUN ON DC WE NEED A MEANS OF CONVERTINGAC TO DC THIS IS DONE WITH THE USE OF A TRANSFORMER. IN OUR CASE WE ARE USING A STEP DOWN TRANSFORMER. TAKING A HIGHER VOLTAGE A/C AND DROPING IT TO A LOWER VOLTAGE A/C. WE THEN CONVERT THIS LOW VOLTAGE AC TO DC WITH A DIODE (OUR FIRST LOOK AT A SIMPLE RECTIFIER).

Wall clocks, mp3 players, electronic sensors, and special devices use 1.5V battery (cell) as power source. We sometimes forgot to buy or replace the battery but no worries because we can design circuits that can convert higher DC voltages to useable 1.5V.The following electronic circuits are possible schematic of 1.5V power sources or regulators.

The main control is provided by VR1. This determines the rate at which C1 charges and hence the point along the AC waveform at which the voltage on C2 reaches the breakdown voltage of the diac (D1), which is when the triac is triggered.

A Simple and Cheap Dark-Detecting LED Circuit
LTR-4206E phototransistor
Resistance Measurement Analog LED Meter This is a LED Analog Meter, This can be used as a Resistance Meter and Low Impedance Voltmeter for Battery Levels. To measure battery voltage, the R5-R12-R17 etc. part of the Reference Resistor Divider Network can be modified to suit. Shown here is for 4 LEDs, Use Three LM324 for 12 or More LEDs and Cascade
In the Knight Rider circuit, the 555 is wired as an oscillator. It can be adjusted to give the desired speed for the display. The output of the 555 is directly connected to the input of a Johnson Counter (CD 4017). The input of the counter is called the CLOCK line. The 10 outputs Q0 to Q9 become active, one at a time, on the rising edge of the waveform from the 555. Each output can deliver about 20mA but a LED should not be connected to the output without a current-limiting resistor (330R in the circuit above). The first 6 outputs of the chip are connected directly to the 6 LEDs and these "move" across the display. The next 4 outputs move the effect in the opposite direction and the cycle repeats. The animation above shows how the effect appears on the display. Using six 3mm LEDs, the display can be placed in the front of a model car to give a very realistic effect. The same outputs can be taken to driver transistors to produce a larger version of the display

THE 4017B DECADE COUNTER
LED Traffic LightsThe LED traffic Light circuit controls 6 LEDs (red, yellow and green) for both north/south directions and east/west directions. The timing sequence is generated using a CMOS 4017 decade counter and a 555 timer. Counter outputs 1 through 4 are wire ORed using 4 diodes so that the (Red - North/South) and (Green - East/West) LEDs will be on during the first four counts. The fifth count (pin 10) illuminates (Yellow - East/West) and (Red - North/South). Counts 6 through 9 are also wire ORed using diodes to control (Red - East/West) and (Green - North/South). Count 10 (pin 11) controls (Red - East/West) and (Yellow - North/South). The time period for the red and green lamps will be 4 times longer than for the yellow and the complete cycle time can be adjusted with the 47K resistor. The eight 1N914 diodes could be substituted with a dual 4 input OR gate (CD4072).
This 40W fluorescent inverter project is powered by 555 timer IC and used to drive fluorescent tubes, compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) and even defective fluorescent tube.
From a 12V supply voltage, timer IC generates square wave voltage of about 4.8kHz. The primary winding (16 turns of #22 AWG) will generate current pulses of about 4A, and in return will induce a high voltage at the secondary winding (450 turns of #30 AWG) of the inverter. This voltage is enough to strike the fluorescent tube even if the filament is not heated thus very suitable to tubes with broken filaments ( burnt out filaments).
This inverter project is very suitable in lighting defective fluorescent tubes, thus helps in minimizing tubes disposal problems. The inverter also can light two 40W tubes in series.

Smoke detectors are generally used in advanced alarm systems. Most of this professional devices use gas-detectors, ionization rooms or radioactive elements as sensors. In this circuit we are not using any of this complicated components. Instead of these, we are using two LDRs and one LED. LM1801 special-purpose IC ,which is designed especially for smoke detectors, this helps us build this circuit by using the minimum number of components. It includes one internal zener supply, two reference voltage outputs, one voltage comparator, fixing diodes and one 500mA output transistor.
