Use a heat sink. Many LEDs are heat sensitive. I make a heat sink by putting a rubber band round the handles of a small pair of snipe nosed pliers.

Can rosin core solder work with leds?

Yes, rosin core solder can be used with LEDs, as it provides a good electrical connection while minimizing oxidation during the soldering process. However, care must be taken to avoid overheating the LED components, as excessive heat can damage them. It's best to use a soldering iron with a fine tip and work quickly to maintain the integrity of the LED. Additionally, ensure proper soldering technique to avoid cold joints.

When to connect LEDs in parallel?

Basically, when LEDs are connected in parallel, the LEDs with the lowest resistance will be the brightest, the other LEDs will be dimly lit or not lit at all. Therefore, use LEDs with the same model number and colour.


How does the melting point f solder change with the amount of tin in the solder?

The melting point of solder generally decreases as the tin content increases. This is because tin has a lower melting point than other common soldering materials, such as lead. An increase in tin typically leads to a more fluid and lower melting alloy, which can be beneficial for soldering applications. However, the exact melting point can also depend on the specific composition of the solder alloy.


With regard to soldering what are the origins of the phrase tin-the-leads?

Tinning is a process of coating leads or other component parts with solder before making a soldered joint. It is done to ensure that the surfaces to be joined will have a good adhesion to the solder to ensure a robust and secure joint. If leads are not tinned before hand, there is a risk of a dry joint - a joint that might appear to be good but in fact does not have solder in intimate contact with the component. Most dry joints have an appearance that exposes the fault but not all do. The term tinning is used as tin is a component of solder (traditional solder is a mix of tin and lead). Tinning now usually means applying solder as described above but it can also mean applying a coating of tin without lead. Using pure tin is rarely if ever used today. Worldwide there is a move to eliminate lead from electronic assemblies and so tin/lead solder is being replaced. Tin is still used but mixed with copper, silver, zing and other more exotic metals. The process of tinning still takes place even with the new lead free solders.


What does a bi-colour light emitting diode do?

There are actually two different LEDs of different color inside one package, wired so that either one or the other can light depending on how power is applied to the leads. Some bi-color LEDs will also permit both to light at the same time.
