  1. Materials by Lindsay Craig Plated Through Hole Soldering

  2. Plated Through Hole Soldering

  3. Soldering Iron The main soldering tool Used to melt solder

  4. Solder Metal “glue” used to join together metal parts Contains flux Made of Tin and Copper, sometimes Lead

  5. Tweezers, Clippers, & Pliers Tools used to handle, bend or cut components and PCBs

  6. Sponge Used to clean off soldering iron tip Can be made of various materials Should be used every time before soldering a joint

  7. Flux Makes solder melt easier Always use extra flux for rework

  8. Solder Wick Use to remove solder Careful, it gets really hot!

  9. Pins and Via Male and female parts that you will solder together

  10. PCB Printed Circuit Board Comprised mainly of fiberglass and copper foil

  11. Safety Goggles Wear them, you only have 2 eyes and solder is very, very hot! (Like this guy.)

  12. What is oxidization? Oxidization is what happens when oxygen breaks down matter It impedes heat and electricity transfer As a result you must clean your iron tip constantly… really!

  13. What is polarity? Some parts have to be attached in a very particular way due to polarity These parts will not work if you put them in incorrectly, pay attention Polarized parts are highlighted in yellow in your kit card Example of polarized LEDs

  14. Cleaning your soldering iron Cleaning your soldering iron is one of the most important aspects of soldering If you can’t get the oxidization off using a sponge try tip tinner

  15. Perfect solder joint, step 1 of 4 Hold the iron touching both the pin and the via for the count of one Make sure to touch the side of the tip of the iron to the pin and via

  16. Perfect solder joint, step 2 of 4 Feed solder into the pin and via from the opposite side of the pin as the soldering iron If you’re having trouble getting the solder to flow, briefly touch the iron with the solder

  17. Perfect solder joint, step 3 of 4 Pull the solder away first and then the soldering iron If your solder gets stuck to the via or pin you can just melt it off with the iron

  18. Perfect solder joint, step 3 of 4 Don’t feed too much solder into the joint Solder covers entire via, but no more You can see solder from the other side of the joint (if it isn’t blocked by a component)

  19. Perfect solder joint, step 4 of 4 Clip excess wire off using clippers

  20. Perfect and not so perfect solder joint “Jumpers” will give electricity another path to travel (one that you don’t want it to travel) “Cold joints” may look like they are connected, but won’t conduct electricity
