Proper soldering of components into a single board is one of the major things to consider when assembling a circuitry. One must make sure that connections are positioned right, the soldering ...

A proper soldering iron is one of the fundamental tools that a good hacker needs. Preferably one that has a temperature control so it can handle different types of solder and connectors. Decent ...

Soldering is the process of using a metal alloy with a low melting temperature (solder) to fuse the electrical contacts of a component to the pads of a circuit board. Proper soldering maximizes the ...

The ­American Boat and Yacht Council says that we can solder, but we must also use a mechanical connection. The thinking is that a ­soldered connection makes the wire brittle and, due to the natural ...

So since I'm doing a bit more with making my own PCBs these days, I thought I'd start up a thread! For myself, I'm using KiCAD for design, and JLCPCB for making them. My current project is to take a ...

This class covers the specific characteristics, flux requirements, and thermal profile of lead-free solders, as well as the proper techniques to apply when using these new solder materials. Includes ...
