'''Principles of Soldering:'''

−

~~=== Materials ===~~

−

~~''What is needed:''~~

−

*Soldering iron

−

*Solder (preferably lead free)

−

*Components you want to solder

−

*Vent fan

−

~~''Optional items:''~~

−

*Solder wick

−

*De-soldering tool

−

*Soldering mat

−

~~=== Set up ===~~

−

To begin soldering gather all of the equipment and components necessary. And begin by determining which connection needs to be made and how you plan on making it. Next we will set up the Iron and station; Ensure you have a working soldering iron and stand, brass wool/wet sponge, solder, and (optional) flux and tip tinner. Turn on the iron and select the appropriate temperature for the iron:

−

* 700F (370C) for through hole components and wires

−

* 600F (315C) for surface mount components

−

* Higher temperatures can damage

−

~~==== How to Strip a Wire: ====~~

−

Soldering two wires is the best way to practice soldering at the very beginning. There are two types of wire, either stranded or solid core. Both have a metal core wrapped in a plastic covering. To see the metal, you need to expose the core by removing the plastic. This can be done using wire strippers or wire cutters.

−

~~===== Wire Stripping: =====~~

−

When using wire strippers - place the wire in the slot written to be for the wire gauge you’re using and gently press around the tubing. You want to be sure to avoid cutting through the core of the wire since the goal is to expose the core. Once the perimeter of the covering has been cut through you will then remove it by slipping it off the core as seen below.
