3. What is Soldering? Soldering is a process in which two or more metal items are joined together by melting and flowing a filler metal into the joint, the filler metal (solder) having a relatively low melting point.1
Solder is a nonferrous, fusible metallic alloy used to join metallic surfaces.2
Typically the solder we use is made out of 63% Tin and 37% Lead.
4. Tools Soldering Iron
Solder Pot
Solder
Wire Strippers
Side Cutters or Clippers
Pliers
Solder Wick
Solder Flux
Water
Acid Brushes
Isopropyl Alcohol or Ethyl Alcohol
Microscope
ESD Station
PWB Clamp
Desoldering Pump
Heat Gun
Orange Sticks
5. How do I Solder? Prepare your station before you start
Clean your work area
Dampen sponge of soldering iron with water
Lay out all of tools you are going to use
Lay out all of the parts you will need so that you can find them easily once you start soldering
Lay out assembly instructions if you have any
6. How do I Solder? Prepare Soldering Iron
Choose the correct tip for the soldering iron and install it
Turn on the soldering iron (Typically I set the temp to ~ 370°C - 400°C)
Once the tip has warmed up, clean it on the damp sponge
Tin the tip of the soldering Iron
Prepare your PWB/parts before soldering
Clean your PWB with ethyl alcohol, acid brushes and clean wipes
If you are soldering wires, cut and strip them to the correct length per NASA-STD-8739.3
Clean the leads of the parts you are going to solder with ethyl alcohol and an acid brush
Tin the leads of your parts / wires if necessary
7. How do I Solder different Types of Components?
8. How do I Solder? – Through Hole Bend the leads of the part if needed with an orange stick
Insert the part in the PWB
Trim the leads
Solder the lead to PWB
Position the soldering iron tip so you touch both the lead and the pad on PWB
You might want to add flux to the area before you start depending on the part
Apply solder to the joint (not to the soldering iron tip) in order to create a thermal bridge to allow the solder to start flowing
Touch the solder to the end of the cut lead
Add solder as needed to complete the soldered connection
Remove the solder
Remover the soldering iron
Clean the solder joint with ethyl alcohol and an acid brush
Inspect the solder joint
Rework if necessary
9. How do I Solder? – Through Hole
10. How do I Solder? – Surface Mount Bend the leads if necessary
Tin the leads if possible
Clean the leads
Place the part in the correct orientation with tweezers
Touch the soldering iron tip to one lead to tack the solder and hold the part in place
Solder the remaining leads
Alternate between sides in a cross pattern and allow enough time for part to cool down in between soldering leads
Be careful not to create a bridge between leads
Go back and solder the first lead
Clean the part
Inspect the part
Rework if necessary
11. How do I Solder? – Surface Mount
12. How do I Solder? Finishing Up
Clean your PWB and soldered parts with an acid brush, ethyl alcohol, and clean wipes
Clean the tip of your soldering iron in the damp sponge
Tin the tip of the soldering iron
Turn-off soldering iron
Clean your station
13. How do I Desolder? Prepare your work area
Prepare your soldering iron
Add Flux to the solder joint that is going to be desoldered
Use solder wick / desoldering pump and soldering iron to remove solder
Remove solder wick
Remove soldering iron
Clean your PWB with ethyl alcohol, acid brush, and clean wipes
14. Tips & Tricks You do not become an expert overnight
Practice, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!!!!!
When soldering make sure you choose the right tip and temperature
Soldering under the microscope is very helpful for surface mount parts
When desoldering sometimes it helps to add more solder to your solder joint
