A properly soldered connection should have a smooth, shiny surface with a uniform, concave shape, indicating good wetting of the solder to both the component lead and the PCB pad. There should be no cracks, gaps, or excessive solder, and the joint should appear solid and well-formed. Additionally, the solder should not have a dull or grainy appearance, which can suggest overheating or insufficient soldering technique. Overall, the joint should look neat and professional.
smooth shiny and a positive meniscus where it flows properly
No, a GFCI does not need a ground connection to function properly.
Movement. The components being soldered need to be fixed, stable, and clean to allow the solder joint to solidify and adhere properly. Movement of components will cause a 'dry' joint which will be electrically unreliable and have a dull appearance.
Screw terminals, braided eyelets, plugs and sockets, insulated screw connectors, wire clip connectors (wire push-ins), twists inside wire nuts, plain wire soldered joints, soldered wire joints to posts and soldered legs for integrated circuits on printed circuit boards.For more information see the answers to the Related Questions shown below.
cc means a close coupled ie a toilet pan and cistern which are attached to each other by bolts and a washer cc can also mean copper to copper... ie: sweated / soldered connection.
Outdoor spigots are always threaded and not soldered on.
ANS: Is to change the appearance of your body.
Yes, you should wait until you see a film cover the liquid silver colour of the connection
Solder the wires together and use heat shrink to insulate the soldered connection. You can buy heat shrink at any auto parts store or hobby store.
If you are joining rigid copper pipes together, it is recommended to use soldered copper fittings instead of compression fittings. Soldered fittings provide a more secure and leak-free connection compared to compression fittings, especially under high temperatures and pressure.
CPUs are not normally soldered to motherboards. They plug into a socket that's soldered to the board.
Soldered joints will have a higher resistance if the joint is not a clean solder joint. Badly soldered joints are classed as a cold solder joint. <<>> ...for what? Application matters here.
