Soldering Tips

First know the details of soldering iron, as shown below. You also require sleeve cutter to cut wires and terminals of components while soldering.

Always keep the soldering iron switched on, while soldering. Do not switch off until your soldering job is complete.
Do not solder while sitting below ceiling fan. Its air will reduce temperature of soldering iron.
Always use good quality solder wire with a ratio of 60% Tin and 40% Lead. It is best suited for our electronics circuits.
The solder paste (flux) is a good soldering agent. To remove the dirt on soldering joint, always apply flux before soldering. Always clean the terminals of wire, components before soldering.
