Line 25: − == Solders ==+ − There are different types of solder available in the [[Maker Hub]]. The standard hand solder that is used is a 60/40 blend. When using solder paste, we typically use a 63/37 variety. − * [[Media:WellerBetterSolderingBooklet.pdf|Better Soldering Booklet]]+ − <!-- − * pdf comic book of operations − --> − Soldering is not difficult, but understanding some basic concepts will go a long way toward a successful experience.

Typically, we will not use this technique, but will instead hold the part and "tack" these same leads with solder - just to hold it. The rest of the video has great examples of IC's being soldered. − {{#evu:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgcPxdnjwt4}} − We don't normally see too many of these any more, but again, nice examples of good joints that are similar to components we still use. − Rather than flatpack or planar components, we generally use "surface-mount" now. But, the soldering part is still useful to watch. The techniques are similar. Our PCB's will generally come "pre-tined" and the component leads are already bent, but the rest of the soldering is the same. − * [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTv3gK9tAKA&index=8&list=PL926EC0F1F93C1837&t=0s Basic Soldering Lesson 8] - "Integrated Circuits" (1:16) − * [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq5ngauITsw&index=9&list=PL926EC0F1F93C1837&t=0s Basic Soldering Lesson 9] - "Integrated Circuits: The Flatpack & Other Planar-mounted Components" (6:20) − <!-- − {{#evu:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTv3gK9tAKA}} − Rather than flatpack or planar components, we generally use "surface-mount" now.

After scouring the web for examples of soldering training, we really liked the lessons captured in the [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL926EC0F1F93C1837 PACE] series, despite the fact that they were filmed in the 80's. These videos are well produced (for something possibly older than your parents) and have a lot of good information. The quizzable information is in the very first, fifth, and sixth videos, but the other videos have great examples of good and bad soldering joints.
