How To Make A Soldering Tip

This sponge is used to clean solder off the tip of the soldering iron.

How to make a soldering tip. Notice the tinned tip in Fig. So here we are listing our own soldering techniques for readers convenience. When you think about it the time to if youve already been soldering let the iron cool change the tip heat it back up remove the resistor let it cool again change the tip back heat it back up again then back to soldering.

Heavy duty tips are only available in the T12 Series Soldering Tips. Be sure that the soldering iron tip is held in the horizontal to the sensor with minimal movement to maximize physical contact between the middle of the working surface of the tip. Begin by making sure the tip is attached to the iron and screwed tightly in place.

Melted solder will bond to solder instantly much faster than solder to wire. Turn on your soldering iron and let it heat up. The solder melts and should stick at the tip.

12 and Fig 13. Given the short stout design of a normal soldering tip one being made of high strength alloy steel like a masonry nail Vs an all copper tip the thermal conductivity difference would be negligible. Apply very little flux in the solder joints and make the soldering.

Solder all the seams first with 6040 solder. Plug in the iron and turn it on. It is important to select the soldering tip with enough thermal mass for the boards and components and a wide contact area to effectively transfer the heat to the soldering point.

Tinning and proper cleaning is extremely important to make the soldering process easy. Clean the tinned tip and you have a refurbished soldering tip. Starting the soldering task and as I told we need first to set the soldering iron tip and then we heat it up once its ready to use you can notice that the soldering wire is molten easily.
