The use of soldering irons and the do's and don'ts of the soldering process:

 

Soldering technology is a computer repair technicians must master the basic technology, need more practice to master, the following specific explanation of the use of soldering iron:


Step 1: the pads and components of the pins with fine sandpaper grinding clean, coated with flux.


Step 2: the soldering iron will be burned hot, to be just able to melt the solder, coated with flux, and then evenly coated with solder on the head of the soldering iron, so that the head of the soldering iron evenly coated with a layer of tin.


Step 3: with the soldering iron tip dipped in the appropriate amount of solder, contact the soldering point, to be soldered on the soldering point of all melted and submerged components lead head, the soldering iron head along the component pins gently lifted up to leave the soldering point.


Step 4: After welding the soldering iron on the soldering iron stand.


Step 5: Then use alcohol to clean the residual flux on the circuit board, in order to prevent the charring of the flux affects the normal operation of the circuit.


Precautions for the soldering process:
1)You should choose the right solder and the low melting point solder wire for soldering electronic components.


2)To make flux, use 25% rosin dissolved in 75% alcohol (weight ratio) as flux.


3)Soldering time should not be too long, otherwise it is easy to burn the components, if necessary, use tweezers to hold the tube feet to help dissipate heat.


4)The solder joint should be sinusoidal wave peak shape, the surface should be bright and rounded, no tin spikes, the amount of tin is moderate.


5) Integrated circuits should be the last welding, soldering iron should be reliably grounded, or power off after the use of residual heat welding. Or use a special socket for integrated circuits, weld the socket and then insert the integrated circuit.


6) Soldering iron should be put back on the soldering iron stand after welding.
