Soldering—maintain the quality of electronic circuit boards

The manual soldering process

  • 1.Hold the soldering iron and solder wire ready. Check the location where the joint is to be made through a stereoscopic microscope.

  • 2.Touch the tip of the soldering iron against the land on the circuit board and the component's leads to heat them up.

  • 3.When you judge that the temperature is right, starting feeding in the solder wire to melt it.

  • 4.When you judge that sufficient solder is in place, stop feeding in the solder wire but continue applying heat until the solder spreads out.

  • 5.When the solder has spread out sufficiently, remove the soldering iron.

  • 6.The formation of a fillet represents the completion of the soldering.
