Precautions for using electric soldering iron
2 Before soldering, the excess part of the lead wire of the component should be cut off and tinned. If the surface of the component is oxidized and not easy to tin, you can use fine sandpaper or a knife to clean the surface of the lead, and use a soldering iron tip to dip an appropriate amount of rosin core solder to tin the lead.
If you still can't hang tin, you can put the component lead on the rosin block, then touch the lead lightly with the tip of the soldering iron, and turn the lead at the same time, so that the surface of the lead can be evenly tinned.
The tinning time of each lead should not be too long, generally 2~3 seconds is appropriate, so as not to burn the inside of the component, especially when tinning the pins of diodes and triodes, it is best to use metal tweezers to hold the lead against the shell part, so as to transfer part of the heat away. in addition,
3. After welding, carefully observe the shape and appearance of the solder joints. The solder joints should be hemispherical and the height is slightly smaller than the radius. They should not be too bulging or too flat. The appearance should be smooth and uniform without obvious pores or depressions, otherwise it will easily cause false welding or false welding. When welding the leads of several components at the same time, more attention should be paid to the quality of the solder joints.
