How to Solder - Basic Soldering Guide. Soldering is process of joining two metals together with soldering iron by the use of a solder to form a dependable electrical joint. This is a basic soldering guide for beginners about hand soldering with a soldering iron. I hope that it will be good help for most of your DIY projects from electronics. . What is the appropriate temperature for soldering? Joint area temperature = The M.P of solder alloy+4050 Degree C. Sn60% Solder (190Degree C) +4050 Degree C =230240 Degree C. However the iron will be set much hotter @350-450 ºC. The hotter the iron the faster the joint can be made providing the heat transfer from it is good.

• Soldering quality and performance vary depending on tip geometry, board thickness, temperature, flux type, technique, etc. Everyday knowledge of soldering is not enough. This Technical Note outlines some basic rules of thumb that apply to all hand soldering operations. With the proper tools and techniques, productivity will increase.
• Solder is a metal or metallic alloy used, when melted, to join metallic surfaces together. The most common alloy is some combination of tin and lead. Certain tin-lead alloys have a lower melting point than the parent metals by themselves. The most common alloys used for electronics work are 60/40 and 63/37.

Solder pastes (based on SnCuAg). The tests performed typically include:. Solderability with SnCuAg solder. Resistance to Solder Heat For the SMDs reclassification of the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) at a peak reflow temperature of 260°C is required in addition to solderability validation. The MSL reclassification is performed on the.

This is the BEST basic electronics course on the internet. Why? Because it is organized so you can select your areas of interest and go directly to them. Most internet courses are disorganized and it is hard to find particular information and follow their train of thought. There is a lot of good information on the internet but finding it and organizing it takes a lot of time, skill and effort. We have done all that for you. Enjoy.Whatever your interest or current level of knowledge you can find valuable information here in our FREE electronics course. If you are a rank beginner or have a post doctorate in electrical engineering you can find informative material in our course. You are encouraged but not obligated to buy the books we suggest to supplement the free material. This is our only means of support.

FIRST: Look over the course table and quickly browse through all the links. This will give you a feel for where you should start depending on your current skill level and also an idea of where you can go with the course. Print out these pages and use it to track your progress by placing check marks in the 'Check Box' column labeled CK.

SECOND: Write down your objectives for the course in the space below. Answer the question, 'what do you want to learn from this course'. What is your purpose for spending your time on this course, and what do you want to do with the information? Then, organize and schedule your time.

UTEC SMT Course 2014 Web Page

The Universidad De Ingenieria & Technologia (UTEC) in Lima, Peru, is a new engineering university in South America. Their web site is www.utec.edu.pe.Electronics is an important part of their curriculum, so together we have developed a short course on Surface Mount Technology (SMT) to introduce their students to three aspects of the use of SMT:

vBasics of SMT components and assembly processes

vPCB design using SMT components, including high-current and high-speed circuits

vBasic hand assembly, assisted hand assembly, and rework/repair of SMT-based assemblies.

The text for the course is Blackwell & Hollomon, Surface-Mount Technology for PC Boards, 2^nd edition, Thompson/Delmar Learning, 2006.

Here is the errata sheet for the text: B&H Errata

The reason for the course is the continuing increase in the impact of electronics in many areas of technology. An example of electronics’ impact on the automotive industry is here: Automotive Electronics

Here is a basic introduction to surface mount technology, courtesy of Radio-Electronics magazine: R-E SMT Introduction

Cross-section of an example PC board, which shows how SMT components allow easier routing, and in many cases fewer layers, than through-hole technology (THT) components.

THT component leads require that every layer be clear of the hole, while SMT components only affect routing on the surface layer to which they will be soldered.

The course will consist of morning and afternoon lectures, and morning and afternoon laboratories.
