    Soldering involves mechanically connecting metal parts like in electronics using a soldering alloy of tin and lead heated to its liquidus point, with flux applied to remove oxidation and allow the solder to flow and bond the parts; proper soldering requires using the correct solder type, equipment like an iron with various tip sizes, cleaning the tip, and taking safety precautions when working with hot materials and lead-containing solder. Tinning a PCB involves applying flux, heating the copper tracks, and adding solder to cover the tracks and prevent corrosion of the exposed copper from oxidation over time.

    What is Soldering?

    Solid electrical connection


    Mechanically connects metal to metal
    Electronic soldering
    soft soldering
    350° F
    Wave Soldering Machine
    Wave- Intake
    Successful Soldering
    1. Correct solder and flux
    2. Required equipment
    3. Clean soldering pencil tip
    4. Safety
    Solder
    Metal alloy of tin and lead

    Symbol for tin - Sn


    Symbol for lead - Pb

    63% tin and 37% lead


    Solder – 63Sn/37Pb
    No mushy range
    Eutectic alloy
    Lowest melting solder
    alloy

    350°F - 600°F
    Solder - 60/40
    Use 60/40 in electronics because less
    expensive

    Standard Wire Gauge - SWG


    SWG .031
    Flux
    Helps solder flow

    Removes oxidation

    Protects copper while solder melts


    Flux
    Rosin-based is used for electronics
    Acid-based is corrosive
    DO NOT USE IN ELECTRONICS
    Used in stain glass lampshades
    Flux
    Available as a paste

    Available as a liquid

    Solder has a rosin flux core


    Equipment
    Soldering gun
    Instant heat - high watts
    Too hot
    Copper tracks and pads come off board
    Damage components
    Equipment
    Soldering iron (pencil)
    Slower warm-up
    Lower wattage - 25 watts
    Tight spots
    Various tips - conical best
    Clean Tip
    Tip becomes
    oxidized with heat

    Wipe off oxidation


    with damp sponge
    Clean Tip
    File away heavy oxidation
    Clean Tip
    Tin pencil tip

    Prevents oxidation
    What is tinning?
    “Tinning” means covering the tracks &
    pads on your PCB with solder
    PCB tracks & pads are made of copper
    When exposed to air & oils on your skin,
    copper oxidizes
    PCB must be tinned in order to prevent
    corrosion & ensure a good electrical
    connection
    Steps for tinning your PCB
    1.Clean all tracks
    2.Apply flux to all tracks
    3.Heat tracks & add solder
    4.Spread & add solder over all tracks
    Safety
    Solder over workbench

    Treat pencil as always hot

    Safety glasses must be worn

    Solder Contains Lead – Washing hands is


    recommended
    Safety
    Put pencil in stand
    Review
    1. The best ratio of solder to use in electronics
    is:
    2. This is because:
    3. We use _______-based flux
    4. What is the difference between a soldering
    gun & pencil?
    5. Why do we tin our PCB’s
    6. What safety considerations are important to
    remember when soldering?
