[ece4723] Soldering Videos

[David James]

PCB:

 

Here are some URLs to a few through-hole soldering videos. 

I do not endorse any commercial products or support any opinions expressed
in these videos. I merely thought that they largely had good video views of
the soldering process.

Surface Mount

 

There is no better way to learn soldering than just get in there and burn
your fingers. Soldering is a skill that you must practice. Here are a few
videos from certified soldering instructors.

Watch these videos a few times __BEFORE__ class on Monday.

SMT resistor (iron and solder)

SOIC SMD (hoof-tip drag method)
DO NOT TRY THIS UNTIL YOU HAVE LOTS OF SMT EXPERIENCE AND THE RIGHT
EQUIPMENT!!!!!

SMDs and their PCBs are very-heat intolerant.
Surface-mount PCBs have very small "pads". They are very easy to pull up if
you heat them too much.
SMDs are very small and you can easily melt their internals if you hold the
iron to them for any period of time.

Take your time; be patient. SMT boards are challenging.
