The majority of electronic components have a fairly small size. Therefore, sometimes we have difficulty in the process of soldering electronic components to a PCB board. It should also be noted that carelessly soldering may also result in some components not working properly. Seeing this problem, we would like to give a few tips on how exactly the most appropriate way to solder these electronic components. First of all, before we start discussing how to solder the correct components, we must prepare some supporting tools first, such as:
- solder with a voltage of 30-40 watts.
- A sharp soldering eye.
- Tenol with a size that matches the size of the component to be soldered.
Steps To Soldering Electronic Components
If you have prepared the three tools, we can start practicing the soldering properly. All you need to do is follow the instructions that we provide in this article to get fast and precise soldering results for every electronic component that we will install on the PCB board. Here's what you need to do to solder the components properly.
- Preheat the soldering iron for easier and faster soldering.
- Try to do the soldering on the glass plane because the tenol will be easier to cut using solder on the glass plane.
- Use tenol sparingly.
- Do not put solder on the component legs for too long as excessive heat can damage the components. A maximum of 10 seconds will take you to glue each component to the PCB board using solder.
- If a soldering error occurs, don't overwrite the wrong solder with a tenol again. Clean the tenol marks that have adhered to the components before soldering and re-solder them so that the components can function optimally.
This is an explanation of how to properly solder electronic components. Hope this is useful for you.
