In 5 stappen naar beter solderen!

In 5 steps to better soldering! My name is Ron Clermonts from ETECH-trainingen If this is your first introduction to ETECH-trainingen, subscribe to the YouTube channel and you will be kept informed of all our latest videos. Today I tell you in 5 steps, how to better solder! The 5 steps are: 1. Set the temperature 2. Tools 3. Tip maintenance 4. Heat bridge 5. Inspection connection A few basic considerations for a start. We are going to solder and what is involved. At ETECH training, we consider ourselves happy with state of the art soldering stations, namely from JBC and Metcal.

01:14 - JBC is the perfect choice for soldering and desoldering modern electronics with large base areas such as motherboards or telephones. Adjustable from 90 to 450 degrees and with the power of 160Watt very quickly on temperature. The built-in sleep and stand-by functions extend the life of the soldering tip. Various points are available, for both the fine work and the soldering of SMD components, but also for the coarser work such as cables. The Metcal CV5200 with Connection Validation and Smart Heat technology, detects the thermal load and delivers Power on demand directly to the connection.

02:01 - The Connection Validation indicates when the soldering is good using the LED light ring. This minimizes the risks and contributes to reliable soldering. If there is sufficient interest, we can go deeper into the differences in another video. Do you want that? Put it in the comments! You cannot tell from a soldering tip whether it is cold or warm, so caution is advised. The tip of your soldering iron can contain up to 3x the boiling temperature of water.

02:37 - It is also desirable to protect your eyes with safety glasses. If you want to limit the inhalation of any harmful vapors, a combination of good ventilation and simple extraction with a carbon filter can be a good investment. Step 1: Set the temperature. In principle, we start with setting the temperature to a 315 degrees. This setting will suffice for many situations. However, there are many more solderings that can do with less.

03:17 - However, when you work with thicker PCBs or larger mass surfaces, the temperature can be adjusted upwards. Considering additional heating can be a huge advantage. Step 2: Tools I’ll show you some tools that you can take advantage of. A vise, to obtain more stability. The Christmas tree, to be used to bend the spurs of through hole components correctly. The “orange” stick, the wooden stick with which you can press components onto the circuit board.

03:57 - Then I have another handy gadget here, the printed circuit board ruler. You use it when cutting the leads. This allows you to easily determine the correct overhang. Do you want more information about when to cut, whether you do that before or after soldering and what, for example, is the correct overhang? Then you do an IPC training with us! Step 3: Clean soldering tip Good tools require good maintenance. To give you as much pleasure as possible, I will give you a few tips.

04:40 - Wipe the old tin residue off the tip before use. You prefer to do this in the copper shavings container. Preferably not with a sponge. Then apply tin again and remove the tin again if necessary. The flux present in a good solder tin removes the oxide deposits. More importantly, after soldering, put the soldering iron with some new tin in the holder. This way it is maximally protected. Step 4: Heat bridge Before you start soldering, choose a well-fitting soldering tip. Wipe it clean and put a little solder on the tip, this ensures smooth heat transfer. Place the soldering tip on the island against the lead or connecting surface. Then add a small amount of solder to create a heat bridge.

05:34 - Then melt a small amount of soldering tin between the soldering tip and soldering spot. And apply pulsating, on the opposite side, an appropriate amount of solder to make the actual soldering. Step 5: Inspection of the connection When inspecting we look at the following: Is the flow optimal? Also on both sides? Do we have an even connection? Well covering? Do you need help inspecting your soldering? Then come for example to follow the IPC-A-610, this training gives you insight into the acceptance criteria for assembled electronics. So. this was our video: In 5 steps to better soldering! Very nice for you that you have made 5 steps, but you are not there yet! There are many more steps to take to make good soldering. They are all featured in our diverse training offer! of course you can do that too, by watching the next video of us!
