How To Make Soldering Tip
To use press the plunger down at the end of the solder sucker.
How to make soldering tip. Unroll a portion of solder then roll the hot tip of the iron from the end of the solder until it does one complete turn on the solder. Dont be afraid to move your panel so that you get the best angle for running the bead. The high strength steel alloy on the other hand would also have superior oxidation and corrosion resistance over the soft copper at the normal temperatures that a soldering gun works at.
When done I removed tape cleaned flux off and trimmed wire to length. We heat up the socket foot and the soldering spot. Place the soldering iron tip onto the sensor and apply solder as if you were making a solder connection.
Select the soldering tip which you feel comfortable using. Press the release button to suck up the liquid solder. You must have a steady grip on your iron to attach the wire.
Wipe the tip of the soldering iron on. After narrowing down the tip shape and size considering the thermal capacity of the PWB. Step 5 Trim to fit.
To make a long story short thats how I made the first tip. Your goal is to remove old solder from the tip. 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.
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. In order to empty the solder sucker press down on the plunger. The soldering lead and the iron tip should be at an angle of 45 degrees so as the make the solder flow easily.
