EXERCISE 141: Practice use of different soldering iron
(10W and 25W) and de – soldering wire or
wick
Objectives
At the end of this exercise you shall be able to:
• Used for joining two ends of a metal to make a electrical or mechanical bond
• A soldering iron is a hand tool used in soldering. It supplies heat to melt solder so that it can flow into the joint
between Soldering is a process two work pieces.
Requirements
Tools/Materials
• Soldering Iron - 1 No. • Soldering gun - 1 No.
• Soldering wick - 1 No. • Soldering station
• Solder - 1 No. • Soldering pencil - 1 No.
• Magnifying glass - 1 No. • Solder flux - 1 No.
• Wire Cutters - 1 No. • Butane soldering Iron - 1 No.
Procedure
Theory: Soldering is the process of joining two ends of a metal to make a electrical or mechanical bond between
them.It typically uses a low melting point metal alloy (solder) which is melted and applied to the metal parts to
be joined and these bonds to the metal parts and forms a connection when the solder solidifies. The 10 watt
power rating is suitable for smaller and more delicate soldering tasks, making it a great tool for hobbyists and DIY
enthusiasts.
Features: Nickel-plated for durability and prevention of oxidation. 10 watt power rating for precise and delicate
soldering tasks
Soldering is a skill anyone working or experimenting in electronics needs to know. Proper soldering takes practice,
patience, and persistence. Solder is a metallic “glue” that holds the parts together and forms a connection that
allows electrical current to flow.
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.
The metal to be soldered is heated with a soldering iron and then solder is melted into the connection.
