HANDY HINTS ON SOLDERING The main causes of poor or defective soldering joints
is incorrect techniques or trying to solder dirty components. Follow the hints
below and you will be soldering like a pro in no time. · The components that
you are soldering must be clean. · If necessary clean the items to be soldered
with fine sandpaper or steel wool to
expose a clean shiny surface. · Keep the tip of your iron clean at all timed ·
Note, your iron is supplied with a long life, pre tinned tip. Consequently you
should never file the tip of your iron to expose a clean surface. · To clean
the tip, preheat the tip for a few minutes, then wipe it clean on a damp
sponge or cloth, which should expose a clean shiny tip. Then apply a small
amount of solder to re-tin the tip. You’ll make better soldered connections by
occasionally re-tinning the tip · Use the right kind of solder. · For
electrical work, use 60/40 electricians resin solder. Do not use acid cored or
bar solder for electrical or electronic soldering work

TO SOLDER · Place the tip of the iron on your joint for a few seconds to pre-
heat it, then apply
the solder. If the solder does not run onto the joint then the joint is not
hot enough. When just enough solder is applied to cover the joint. Withdraw
the iron and solder and allow to the joint to cool. It is vital the joint is
not allowed to move while cooling. When cooled the joint should have a clean,
shiny appearance. · Use only enough solder to make a good connection. · No
solder joint was improved by adding more solder than was necessary.
YOUR IRON
Ideal for hobby work, however special care should be exercised when soldering
any electronic components as these may be prone to damage if too much heat is
applied. If you have never made a solder joint before, it is a good idea to
practise beforehand using some old pieces of wire or other material.
FAULT FINDING
If the solder forms a ball, then either the components are dirty or there is
not enough heat applied to the joint. Clean off the ball of solder and the
components and resolder the joint. If the joint has cracked, frosty or
crystalline appearance, then you most likely have a “Dry joint”. This will
occur if the joint has moved while cooling or if not enough heat was applied.
To correct this re-heat the joint and a little solder. If the solder wont
“take” to the joint you either have not applied enough heat or the components
are dirt. Allow the joint to cool, clean the component that you are soldering
and resolder the joint.
