HANDY HINTS ON SOLDERING

The main causes of poor or defective soldering joints are 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, that 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 a 60/40 electrician 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 the joint to cool. The joint mustn’t be 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 practice 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 resell the joint.
If the joint has a 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 won’t “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 resell the joint.
