How To Make Solder Tip

If youre in the wrong position it will make soldering smoothly more difficult.

How to make solder tip. Do not keep the soldering iron tip more than 3 seconds on the soldering joint when soldering CMOS components. Start with a Clean Tip. To use press the plunger down at the end of the solder sucker.

Here are nine soldering tips and mantras Ive gathered through the years that help me remember proper solder protocol. And the electric components size and shape finally select the one that you think or feel comfortable using.

Place the soldering iron tip onto the sensor and apply solder as if you were making a solder connection.

Two things you should do to make them last long is turn the iron off whenever you dont need it and not use abrasives or wet sponge to clean the tip those brass shavings cleaners are best.
