GIVE IT A COUPLE SECONDS TO HEAT UP AND THEN APPLY YOUR SOLDER, USING JUST ENOUGH TO COVER THE SOLDERING al PAD AND CONNECT TO THE WIRE LEAD. THEN LET THE 2 CONNECTION COOL. BE SURE THAT THE PART LEAD DOESN'T MOVE DURING THE COOLING PHASE OR YOU'LL GET WHAT THEY CALL A COLD SOLDER JOINT. ‘THE SOLDER SHOULD BE A ‘ROSIN CORE" SOLDER. WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT THE SOLDER HAS SOLDERING FLUX 2 BUILT INTO IT WHICH HELPS CLEAN THE CONNECTION AFTER BEING HEAT ACTIVATED AND ALSO HELPS TO 2 fs ENSURE THAT THE SOLDER WILL FLOW EVENLY AS WELL i AS ADHERE TO THE METAL. A COLD SOLDER JOINT LOOKS GRAINY AND DULL IN APPEARANCE. A GOOD SOLDER JOINT LOOKS SHINY. IF YOU 2 GET A COLD JOINT, REHEAT IT AND LET THE SOLDER COOL DOWN AGAIN, AND IF NECESSARY, IT’S OK TO ADD A 2 8 TOUCH MORE SOLDER.
