Soldering Basics and SMD Soldering on PCB Using Hot Air Gun
What is Soldering ? Soldering is a process in which two or more metal items are joined together by melting and then flowing a filler metal into the joint—the filler metal having a relatively low melting point. Soldering is used to form a permanent connection between electronic components. Things required for soldering Soldering iron Solder (Tin Lead) Flux (Soldering Paste) Soldering Iron Stand Tweezers Hot Air gun required for SMD soldering Desoldering pump or Desolder Sucker Let's check these into more details. Flux (Soldering paste) We call also flux as Flowing agent, Purifying agent and Cleaning agent. What are the chemicals used in the flux ? Sodium Carbonate Potash Borax Lead Sulphide We Need this flux for two different usages. Separate the metals solder the metas Flux is used for Oxidation and Impurities removal. Means when we are soldering it will remove the oxygen and the dusts from the soldering point. This will make your solderi...
