Lesson Objectives: To learn how to solder safely and effectively. Success Criteria Must: Have

Lesson Objectives: To learn how to solder safely and effectively. Success Criteria Must: Have filled in your table of resistor values and added the first six resistors to your board, bending the wires over so that they don’t fall off. Should: Have soldered the six resistors in place safely and accurately. Could: Have completed the soldering task and the soldering safety homework sheet (NEATLY!). SOLDERING IRONS ARE DANGEROUS - ANYONE CAUGHT ACTING STUPIDLY WITH EQUIPMENT WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE GIVEN AN AFTER SCHOOL DETENTION

Homework: Complete the soldering safety sheet. For next lesson (Wednesday 7 th December). Marks

Homework: Complete the soldering safety sheet. For next lesson (Wednesday 7 th December). Marks will be given for the quality of your answers and for neatness!

ADD YOUR COMPONENT (example shown is a resistor) by pushing the wires through the holes you have drilled in your PCB. Bend over all of the wires you’re not going to solder now.

CLEAN THE POINT OF THE IRON - take away any dirt on a damp

CLEAN THE POINT OF THE IRON - take away any dirt on a damp (not soaking wet) sponge when the iron is heated up. This will help your solder to flow properly.

”TIN” THE IRON. This just means you should melt a tiny bit of solder

”TIN” THE IRON. This just means you should melt a tiny bit of solder onto the point. Try to avoid breathing in the fumes - they can be harmful.

HEAT YOUR COPPER TRACK by holding the iron’s point on it for 3 seconds.

HEAT YOUR COPPER TRACK by holding the iron’s point on it for 3 seconds. If you heat it for too long, the track will burn away. If you don’t heat it for long enough, the solder will not stick.

TOUCH THE SOLDER WIRE ONTO THE TRACK and heat it quickly from above with

TOUCH THE SOLDER WIRE ONTO THE TRACK and heat it quickly from above with the iron.

LIQUIFY JUST ENOUGH SOLDER TO MAKE THE JOIN and then pull the iron away.

LIQUIFY JUST ENOUGH SOLDER TO MAKE THE JOIN and then pull the iron away. Your join should look something like this one. You should only need a small amount of solder for each join.

GOOD AND BAD ATTEMPTS GOOD: BAD: The join is complete and will hold in

GOOD AND BAD ATTEMPTS GOOD: BAD: The join is complete and will hold in place. Not enough solder applied. No join.

GOOD AND BAD ATTEMPTS BAD: Copper track not heated long enough. No join. Copper

GOOD AND BAD ATTEMPTS BAD: Copper track not heated long enough. No join. Copper track burned so no current can pass through. No join.
