Solder Iron Tips Remember: More the surface area the quicker your component will heat up.
Cleaning solder tips • Add distilled water to the yellow/green foam rub the tip on it • Poke the tip on a dry strand of metal scrub.
Procedure and Safety • Procedures: – The ideal soldering temperature is 600 F to 750 F i. e. 60 -75 setting on the solder station – Steady LED light means warming up – The iron is ready to use once LED starts blinking • Safety: – Never put solder iron anywhere else but the station. – Wear eye gear and covered cloth to prevent hot solder iron or solder in contact with skin – Prevent yourself from breathing solder smoke directly by using an exhaust fan (a little bit is not hazardous)
How to Solder? Place Chip on the right place. Make sure you know the orientation Solder Iron and solder should be in the opposite direction.
How to Solder? - Do not put solder in the tip and then transfer into the plate. - You can use solder on tip to increase faster heat transfer for fast soldering The connections on the other side should look very smooth and shiny
