What equipments are there in soldering?

There is a lot of equipment in Soldering and I am telling you about which I know. Soldering Iron You can’t do soldering without a soldering iron/gun. But you don’t have to buy an expensive soldering iron/gun. You can find soldering irons in less than $10 that would work for most beginners’ needs. Wire Cutter The wire cutter is a very handy little soldering tool. We mostly use it to cut long component legs, or to strip the end of a wire. Wire Cutters is also known as flush-cutters, diagonal cutters, electronic snippers, clippers, etc. Wet Sponge A wet sponge is very useful for cleaning the tip of the soldering iron. The tip is hot which means it will oxidize very fast and get dirty. A clean tip transfers heat faster and makes your soldering easier. A sponge is so cheap anyway, so you should always keep one together with your other soldering tools. Soldering Stand A soldering iron gets hot after performing soldering, so it’s important to place it in a safe way in between soldering. A soldering iron stand is very useful for this. Since it takes up a lot of space, I don’t bring mine when travelling, but I always have one at my desk in Illinois. Safety Glasses A pair of safety glasses is something I really recommend when you do soldering. The consequences of getting hot soldering splashed into your eye can be terrible. So, please use them. Tweezers Tweezers are great. You can use them to keep components in their place and to avoid burning your fingers when you do soldering. If you ever solder surface mount components, these are very useful for placing small components. Solder wick The solder wick is another tool for removing solder. It’s made up of copper threads that will absorb the solder from the solder joint. For example to remove “solder bridges” between pins on a chip or if there’s a bit of solder left on a bigger solder joint.

It's the other way round, soldering is used in electronics.


How do you use a soldering iron?

To use a soldering iron, you must have a piece of solder, something to cool it down, eg a damp sponge and a mains plug socket.You must plug in the soldering iron and push the switch. Then, you must take your piece of solder, and with the soldering iron in one hand (Preferably your strongest hand) and your piece of solder in the other, you need to heat the tip of the soldering iron by feeding your piece of solder through the curved part of the soldering iron. This will melt the tip of the solder, and once you have melted about 5 millimetres, you are ready to go.You need to use your piece of solder to feed through the soldering iron once again, but this time, the melted solder (the gooy gray stuff) that comes out needs to be applied to the two pieces of metal you want to solder together. Once you have used about 2 centimetres of solder, the melted solder will have hopefully made a mountain shape that curves around the two pieces. Solder freezes VERY quickly so you only have to leave it for about 5-10 seconds, then give it a firm pull, and it should remain intact.ANSWER: The sponge is not to cool it down but rather to clean the tip from operation to operation. To begin with apply solder to the tip to tin it. Always use the right iron for the job. The idea is to melt the solder and make a good connection without heating and destroying the part. A good solder connection is a shiny connection. The application of solder flux will help the solder to flow and displace material present. There is no time limit or set time if it takes too long you got the wrong iron needs more heat in that case or a clean tip.prepare the items to be soldered so that they make a solid mechanical contactclean the surfaces with flux (if you are using "cored solder" this happens automatically)begin heating the items to be soldered with the soldering ironmelt a little bit of solder between the soldering iron and the items to be solderedas soon as the items to be soldered are hot enough to melt solder themselves melt solder into themimmediately remove the soldering iron and let the joint coolif the joint has smooth shiny surfaces you are done, otherwise the joint will be rough and crystalline looking (this is called a "cold joint") and you will have to apply more flux remelt it with the soldering iron and sometimes add a bit more solder. oddly enough a common cause of "cold joints" is overheating and burning off the flux you applied


What are the similarities between soldering and welding?

In soldering and welding, 2 or more pieces of metal are joined by melting metal at the interface between them. When the molten metal cools and hardens, it physically bonds the pieces together.

How do you properly clean the joints to be soldered?

There are several ways of soldering electrical joints. Automated methods use wave soldering in which a circuit board is passed over a bath of solder. Re-flow soldering uses solder paste that is applied to the circuit board and then heated in an oven until it melts and flows across the joint. Manual soldering is largely still carried out with hand held soldering irons. The standard technique is to apply the tip of the iron to the joint and then feed solder onto the joint as the iron heats it. This method allows the solder flux to flow around the joint before it is affected by the heat. Applying the solder to the iron before touching the joint will often result in a dry joint because the flux will burn away and evaporate before it reaches the joint. Most electronic components have limits for the amount of time the soldering iron can be in contact with each pin. Generally it is in the order of 5 or 6 seconds. With the introduction of lead free solder, temperatures need to be higher to get a good joint and therefore the contact time with each component is reduced. With a shorter contact time, it is even more important to heat the joint and apply solder in an efficient manner. Production and commercial soldering skills take years to develop with apprenticeships lasting up to three years. To describe soldering techniques in just two or three paragraphs is to merely scratch the surface. Although there are many written instructions for soldering joints, there is no substitute for practice and learning from skilled wiremen.

Why is it important to keep the tip of your soldering iron tinned?

To keep the tip from rusting.


What is the best soldering iron and tip to use on circuit boards?

Soldering irons come in a variety of sizes and shapes. There is a wide selection of soldering irons, soldering pencils, soldering stations and soldering guns available on market in the USA.Which soldering iron is the best soldering iron for you depends on the soldering work you are planning to do and how often you are planning on using your soldering iron. The following four factors should be taken into consideration when picking a soldering iron that will be used for soldering projects on circuit boards:1) ) type of the soldering tools2 wattage of the soldering iron3)temperature control4) tip size and shapeTypes of soldering toolsAll soldering tools can be divided in four different groups-Soldering pencils-Soldering station-Soldering rework /repair stations systems-Soldering gunsSoldering pencilsSoldering pencils are the simplest (and the cheapest) soldering tool. Soldering pencils are good only for simple do-it-yourself projects. The price range of the soldering pencils is $10-$30Soldering stationsSoldering station consists of two parts: soldering pencil and a power station. Soldering pencil is attached to a power station. Power station controls temperature of the iron tip in the wide range. It automatically keeps the iron tip at an appropriate temperature. Desired temperature of soldering iron is set with knob on the face plate of power station. Soldering station can be used for most of soldering projects. It can be used for soldering of through-hole components on circuit board as well as for soldering of very fine surface-mount components as small as 0603 and 0805. The price range of the soldering stations is $40-$150.Soldering rework /repair stations systemsSoldering rework/repair systems are complex soldering tools which are mostly used in industry or in the high-volume manufacturing facilities. This soldering systems are the most expensive soldering tools since they usually consist of power station and 4 or 5 hand pieces including soldering iron, hot-air gun, tweezers , vacuum pump which is used for the de-soldering work. The price range of the soldering systems is $250-$2500.Soldering gunsI do not recommend using soldering guns for fine soldering projects on circuit boards.The most popular brand names for soldering irons in the USA are Weller, Pace and Hakko. Aoyue soldering irons are less popular brand name in the United States then Weller or Pace. However, Aoyue soldering irons are much cheaper and they are good combination of quality and price.There is a wide selection of iron tips. Iron tips come in different shapes and sizes. For most soldering projects you can use screwdriver tip 0.062" or 0.032". For fine soldering projects and for soldering of small surface-mount components you can use conical tip 1/16".ConclusionI recommend a temperature controlled 50W soldering station. This soldering station will be excellent tool for most of soldering projects. My top recommendations are:-Weller WESD51 soldering station (digital)- Weller WES51 soldering station (analog)- Hakko FX-888 soldering station- Aoyue 2702A soldering station- Pace ST-25 soldering station
