Solder bar melted into solder pots can be a faster, more automated method of soldering than hand-soldering with solder wire. Solder pots that have a pump creating a wave are called wave solder ...

The result is that the entire board is much denser, and comments can be installed on both sides of the PC board, as seen in ...

Soldering uses alloys that melt below 840°F to join metals. Molten solder fills the space between surfaces to be joined, adheres to the surfaces, and solidifies. Typical soldering steps include: ...

Soldering, brazing, and welding are all methods of joining two or more pieces of metal and selected other materials. They are also methods used to fill gaps in metal parts. In welding, the two metals ...

Everyone knows the PCBs in their electronics aren’t soldered together by hand anymore. But what most people don’t realize is how cool the machines that make those tiny joints are. This particular ...

Hand-soldering a few PC boards is surprisingly popular given how many components come only in surface-mount technology (SMT) packages these days, especially when you consider just how small some of ...

I’ll confess: I really enjoy making a well-crafted solder join between two wires or soldering a component onto a PC board. There’s something very satisfying about the smell of the rosin (we won’t talk ...

In our last installment of Tools of the Trade, we had just finished doing the inspection of the surface mount part of the PCB. Next in the process is the through hole components. Depending on the PCB, ...
