  2. Overview • General Soldering • Why it is important • Tools required • How to solder • Removing solder • Good vs. bad • Cold joints • Forms of Solder • Solder paste • Lead free solder

  3. General Soldering

  4. Why is it useful • Soldering is a must have skill for types of electronics work. • In this class you may need to solder wires • to a circuit board or to other wires

  5. Example of Solder • Connecting an LED to a circuit board • http://www.gamingwithdrawal.com/news/2012/01/led-changer-for-ps3-released/

  9. Tools - Solder • http://parts.digikey.com/1/parts-kws/solder

  10. Tools - Soldering Iron Holder • http://www.rivieratrading.co.uk/Soldering-Iron-Stand.html

  11. Overview • General Soldering • Why it is important • Tools required • How to solder • Removing solder • Good vs. bad • Cold joints • Forms of Solder • Solder paste • Lead free solder

  12. Prepare • Selecting the correct solder size • Clear space • Turn on the iron • Coat the tip of the soldering iron • http://www.rchelisite.com/how_to_solder_properly_tips_and_techniques.php http://www.rchelisite.com/how_to_solder_properly_tips_and_techniques.php

  13. Steps of Soldering • Clean the surface • Place the component on the board • http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-solder/step4/Soldering-components-onto-a-circuit-board/

  14. Steps of Soldering • Apply heat to the connection • Add solder to the joint • http://www.examiner.com/gadgets-in-chicago/five-projects-for-getting-into-soldering

  15. Steps of Soldering • Remove the solder, than the soldering iron • Check the joint • http://store.curiousinventor.com/guides/how_to_solder/heat_solder

  16. Overview • General Soldering • Why it is important • Tools required • How to solder • Removing solder • Good vs. bad • Cold joints • Forms of Solder • Solder paste • Lead free solder

  17. Removing Solder - Tools • Soldering Iron • Solder wick http://www.step-easy.com/glass/stained-glass-supplies-20.htm

  18. Removing Solder - Steps • Heat up solder wick • Place the wick against the joint http://pink.myshoesaretootight.com/mirrors/amiga.serveftp.net/Fit_PLCC_socket.html

  19. Removing Solder - Steps • Apply heat to the part of the wick that covers the joint • Repeat using a new area of the wick, if solder still remains • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Solder_wick-close_up-solder_impurities_PNr%C2%B00112.jpg

  20. Overview • General Soldering • Why it is important • Tools required • How to solder • Removing solder • Good vs. bad • Cold joints • Forms of Solder • Solder paste • Lead free solder

  21. Good vs. Bad Joints • http://www.kpsec.freeuk.com/solder.htm

  22. Good vs. Bad Joints • http://www.justanswer.com/tv-repair/34s2p-mitsubishi-ws-a55-multiple-techinicians.html

  23. Overview • General Soldering • Why it is important • Tools required • How to solder • Removing solder • Good vs. bad • Cold joints • Forms of Solder • Solder paste • Lead free solder

  24. Cold Joints • Why • Occurs due to lack of heat when applying • Component moving before completion of process • Heat expansion and contraction of joint • Hard oxide shell builds up • Cons of Cold Joints • Prone to physical failure • Lead to dead joints

  25. Results of Cold Joints • Comparing good to bad • Cold joints lead to high resistance • Leaves a brittle joint • Can cause a circuit to fail completely • Other point • Don't apply too much solder.

  26. Normal and ColdJoints http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cold_solder_joint.jpg

  27. How To Fix • The joint • Remelt joint • Apply more solder in correct fashion • If too much solder... • De-solder, remove excess solder, and solder again in correct fashion Heat up joint and apply more solder around expanded area. http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/mainrelayoperation/badmainrelay.html

  28. Overview • General Soldering • Why it is important • Tools required • How to solder • Removing solder • Good vs. bad • Cold joints • Forms of Solder • Solder paste • Lead free solder

  29. Using Soldering Paste • What is soldering paste? • A mixture of solder particles and a specialized flux. • Mostly used in PCB (Printed Circuit Board) assembly. • High pined components • Large amount of components • Used inside of reflow soldering techniques. • Contact pads connect components • Then solidified in controlled heat • Paste transferred by pin,jet printing, or paste slider

  30. Using Soldering Paste (cont) • Solder paste should be stored in airtight container at low temperatures. • If exposed to air the solder oxidizes • Sensitive to certain temperatures • Room temperature storage causes flux to degrade • Solder paste has a "use by date" • Don't use solder paste past expiration!

  31. Solder Paste Process • http://www.radio-electronics.com/info/manufacture/soldering/solder_paste/

  32. How to Use Solder Paste • Solder paste is applied to the desired destination • Apply only to where required with paste andstencil. • Components are placed • Using stencil • Don't knock board • Product is heated • Using reflow technique • Bond is solidified during cooling stage of process • The board is soldered within a few hours of being cooled

  33. Overview • General Soldering • Why it is important • Tools required • How to solder • Removing solder • Good vs. bad • Cold joints • Forms of Solder • Solder paste • Lead free solder

  34. Lead Free Soldering • Lead-Tin Alloy Solder Pure Tin Soldering http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soldering

  35. Lead Free Soldering • Legislation passed • July 1, 2006 -EU • WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) and RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directives • Materials used • Primarily tin • Includesmetals such as: copper, silver, bismuth,zinc, etc.. • Applications today • Use in electronic devices • Not in critical situations • Aerospace Projects • Medical Projects http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WEEE

  36. Summary and Conclusion • General Soldering • Why it is important • Tools required • How to solder • Good vs. bad • Forms of Solder • Solder paste • Lead free solder
