- A guide to electronic soldering for beginners
This is just a simple guide with a few tips for beginners. It is not the end-all be-all guide to soldering.

Exactly the kind of video I was looking for! Took a minute to find. But perfect. Sometimes all you need to learn to do something right is someone who can explain it clearly and in a way that makes sense to you. I finally feel like I might be able to do some good soldering work!
Thanks a lot man.
That out of frame linemans splice was an eye opener :)
Oops lol
lol
The best one I've seen yet. You covered exactly what I needed covered, especially the electronic components. Thank You very much.
Welcome
Thanks for this video! Getting ready to learn soldering and this is just the simple straight forward intro I needed!
Thanks SO much for all your trouble in making this video... I've tried SO many times to do it myself, and you taught what I never knew beforehand - TO CLEAN YOUR TIP - BEFORE USE! Probably explains why I have just not been able to do a successful soldering job before! AGAIN, thanks for your time & effort!
Clean everything. Then tin everything. Solder flows where solder has been.
I like how you point out what's needed and what's nice to have!
This is a great instructional video. Would have helped me when I started this a few months ago, but I use a lot of the tricks displayed here. I will add that at 9:35 --> (yes I highly recommend using a breadboard when soldering headers into components) but the trick I learned to keep the other side stable (and level with the header your soldering) is to stack a few washers on both opposite corners. Works for me. Happy soldering, the process really goes quickly. Keep the tip tinned.
Thanks so much for this video - fantastic! Going to solder my first beginners kit tomorrow as this was a great motivator to get me going.
Great video! Before watching this, I knew enough to be dangerous and have been wanting to teach my middle school students (I am an engineering and robotics teacher) how to solder. Your video cleared up my mistakes and now I can move forward with teaching this valuable skill. Thank you!
Glad to help
Really enjoyed ur pro tips for desoldering. I feel i can get started now from ur video. Great teacher! I'll check out ur other stuff too! Thx for sharing ur passion and knowledge with us. This is amazing stuff!
Nice tutorial, mate. Appreciate your calm explanation and matter-of-fact approach. I got way more out of this video than any number of others I've watched. Thanks. :-)
Each video you've posted is a learning experience for me. Today's high point was the 'capillary action' drawing up the solder which I didn't know about. Will try it.
Thx dude, great explanation real down to earth!!!
Very good one. Please keep giving such good videos. You are a good tutor.
Your tutorials are the best!
You should be getting way more views. Great instruction, thanks!
Very good video kept me entertained while being informative i can't wait to learn how to soder
Thanks for the explanation, good job!
Some really useful tips here -- thank you! I'd never thought of using a breadboard to help with soldering! Great video.
+Pyotr Leflegin thanks
This is a very good beginners' basics tutorial.
"If my old eyes can see" - Dave Jones likes to joke that "Even Stevie Wonder could solder 1208 components," but I have trouble focusing on 100 thou perfboard. My cheap third hand tool came with a magnifier and I've tried some eyeglass loupes, but I've found that when it comes to focusing on a circuit board, a pair of dollar store readers is the Cock for Dolly.
I frequently use small PTH boards similar to the one you used to demonstrate soldering headers. I rarely bother with headers for offboard or board-to-board wiring; I just splat breakout wires onto the pads at the edges, the way Clive used to do his TV prop wiring. Not very physically robust, but good enough if everything is anchored to a common surface.
amazing video. i am going to fill out my first board today and feel confident after this video
Awesome just the kind of refresher course I needed Thanks
Yet another great informative video!
"Yeah, it'll work. But it looks like a dog's ass, so don't do it." I love his simplistic approach XD
Always had a love for electronics , and now, thanks to your VERY informative videos
I seem to have an addiction. lol. thanks a lot man , keep inspiring ...
Thanks for watching!
Had a lot of soldering practice in tech school. My favorite kits were Heath Kit.
Dear Sir, an other excellent video, I just watched the video where you purchase the temp soldering iron for your tool bag and thought that one was great, then I watched this video and I have been doing it all wrong, now because of this video I can begin to do the right way, thank you so much for these videos.
I like putting some heat shrink on the jaws of the alligator clips (on the helping hands). This helps to prevent them from chewing up the traces on the board. You can see at 15:45 the damage it did to the pads on the top of the board.
Thank you very much. Just what I was looking for.
Nice job. Very helpful. Thanks
I taught myself to solder 20 years ago while working in a guitar shop. I realize I had no clue what I was doing. This was pre-TH-cam. Would have benefitted greatly from this.
+Gregory Deering I'm glad you liked it.
What I have found very handy is a block of wood, about a two-inch cube, with various sizes of holes drilled into it. That way, it's really easy to hold things such as 3.5 mm plugs and leds when you're soldering wires to them. And you can get a soldering jig from Duratool for about £4 -- they save a lot of trouble!
+Pyotr Leflegin nice
Very cool! This helps a lot!
Really enjoyed your video on soldering! Question: Are there different types of fluxes? Or is soldering flux standard for electronics? Keep up your excellent videos!
The first line you said was enough for liking you. Suscribed
The flux is a great idea! Thanks.
Thanks to your video I learned how to solder
Thanks for posting. Very educational. Would be nice to see how to solder wires to the components on the board -how to solder an actual circuit, in other words.
What you were really doing was: iron to pad & pin, solder to pad pin & iron junction, move solder to opposite side, flow, remove solder, remove iron. This helps heat transfer and releases flux. Folks commonly say the heat the pad and pin and touch solder to hot pin, but they don’t actually do that. Great video!
Awesome video, thanks!
Great info, many thanks
i am already hooked, just by watching this video.
Thanks for this video!
RIP Radioshack
Man, I loved me some Radio Shack back in the 70's!
Very nice. Many thanks.
Cheers mate, really useful
Man, great video!
great vid. Thank you
Vote up, nice video clip, thank you for sharing it :)
great video! 👍🏼
Excellent. Thanks
Very intuitive thank you.
+Ian Cole Thanks
I agree wit Walter Edwards, this was the best instruction, ever.
What do you recommend I do for practice? What I mean is, is there a place to get cheap components to practice on?
If you do not mind asking how to connect between the resistor to the capacitor and the other component? Must I use a wire connection between one of them? Thanks.
I built one of these! I was wondering if I could make something else out of it! any ideas? I have a radio shack iron also. I have a crazy Weller pistol grip 100&140 watt . I haven't used it for electronics. seems to hot. I no longer have a RadioShack . it closed down back 6 months ago. there isn't anywhere to get anything remotely electronic locally. I guess the big Weller will be good for wires. and larger stuff
I got it for $2.00 at a yard sell. I made my own helping hands from copper wire and gator clips. 10 gauge solid copper works well. I wish I knew as much as you. or half as much. there is so much I wanna do.... thanks for the videos. and happy Thanksgiving!!,..
8:27. Heatshrink tubing not shrink wrap. Good video
Thank you great video
welcome
wow that was awesome info and I'd like to thank you personally as I have so much to do as I plan to create my own circuit boards which will connect to switches to create sound effects and lights activation on a robot costume i want to build so if I have push button switches on my gloves they will send signal on wires going from the finger tips right to the boards placed in cheat panels connected along the way to other wires which come from under my arm pits areas straight to the main hidden circuit boards in the main box powered by 12v battery in my inner chest panel circuitry section.
If I could achieve all these plans of mine it would be Incredible as well as also installing buttons and effects in a self made space ship consul like a star trek kind of effect when being viewed by a camera in fornt of me zooming down to the hand movements from above. I will surely enough be back to ask more questions about what I have just told you I wish to do but I will need to get the materials circuits and l.e.d.s. in switches etc before I start my project. Thanks again fella keep up the good work too bye for now ;)
Nice video in many ways but do you know any of the elementary parts to a camera?
radio shack is closed( I just got my soldering kit, any suggestions of what can I build as starter?
I just learned!
Great video. Is there a good soldering kit on amazon or somewhere for beginners? Would be good to add a link in the description possibly if there is. Thanks!
I recently purchased the Elenco Model SP-3B Solder Practice Kit off Amazon. Great kit with practice components and an LED circuit as well. The instruction booklet is fantastic. Price is very reasonable.
When you add a component to a board, would you place it flush on the board or would you give it a gap so it was slightly raised on its legs? I am new to this so asking dumb questions. I was wondering if components needed breathing space or if it really needs to be resting on the board.
I was always taught flush to the board. The area that is actually touching is maybe 1% of the total surface area. Even big electrolytic caps won't go all the way down.
@@learnelectronics Thank you for such a thorough and quick response. I really appreciate it.
Great video but where are the power bars on this board? I have the same and can’t get my LED to light up. Is it Bc I don’t have power bars?
Any video explaining differences between stripboard, veraboard, and perfboard? I'm very new to electronics.
Professional! Thank you.
thi looks great but I really want to know how you're going to connect all those components. that's the real hard part. Do you use a jumper wire that connects them on the top side? do you run wire between the components in the under side?
Just use the long wires coming off some of the components like the resistor wires. Just bend them over to the position you'd normally use a jumper. But from what I've seen is yes, you will sometimes have to make a wire jump on the front side if the board
This is a beginner's video. That's not a beginner concept.
Thanks for information. I about to start my gaming repair shop
awesome account!
THANK U!!!!!!
Welllllll....Who say you can't teach an old dog a new trick??? Well done!!! What is the temperature of the soldering iron? Thanks.
I use 350C
What about those fumes? Are they dangerous? Ummm.... I don’t know how to tell what is being done out of frame?
Question. You used a flux paste on the led, why did you not need to with the others? I know the wire had flux in it, so did you change solder type, or was this because of something about the led’s wire legs?
is that proto board from amazon? it looks like what I need!!!
+James stranger I don't remember, it's been a few months.
TNK U MAN .
What is the perfect temperature?
Does he start working in frame at some point?
What's a good degree to get the solder flowing quickly?
I do 350C
@@learnelectronics thanks bud, been restoring a NES. Had controller port problems for 2nd player. I cleaned the pins and port that wasnt it, then stripped it, studied the motherboard and seen pins on top that werent soldered at all, problem is they're an inch away from compassitors. So the angle will have to be high.
was this take so good, so expensive or impossible to reproduce, that it couldn't be done again ON CAMERA ?! Ever hear Zappa's intro to CHEEPNIS on "Roxy and Elsewhere"?
You stuck a bunch of things on the perfboard, but how do you now connect the components together? From the backside you connect wires to each of the little mountains of solder? What's the technique for that? That's what I came here to learn.
You waste a little time by not creating a "solder bridge" first before you try to apply solder to the other side of the joint. That's why the solder does not melt until you touch it with the tip of the iron. Besides that, this is a good upload.
Cheap soldering irons have come a long way, especially everything with hakko tip compatibility.
I appreciate your efforts man. I tried watching, but the poor framing and focus made it hard to watch.
whats a bread board? And you don't use flux? Thanks for the video.
The wire usually has in its core
If your wires are both connected to something place shrink tube on first!
Ah fuck it... learn the hard way like I did
the job is only 30% done, upon attaching components to board would be nice to show how to connect them into circuit
This is a beginner's tutorial. That is not a beginner's step.
Will this work with pointy tip solder iron?
Yes
Do you guys think this is dangerous I personally think it looks like alot of fun. So I just wanted to know if its like safe etc.
"It looks like a dog's ass" LMAO!!! Thanks for the video.
Okay, one that haslong stumped me about basic soldering. since you do guitar electronics, maybe you 'splain this Loocy. You're soldering connections to the back of a guitar potentiometer. The soldering iron is sufficiently hot, it's been working just fine, but now you can't get enough heat for the solder on the back of the pot to flow, and the connections to come free. You wind up heating the pot to the point that it's so hot you can't even touch it for several minutes. What the heck is going on there?
22:00:my girl when she leaves my house
what is the temperature of the soldering iron
+Joseph Mazzulla It's adjustable. I'm running 350C.
You twisted those wires so tight that they already had that shine of solder😆
Where in the heck did you find anything from Rat Shack? I thought they were all closed down? I live in the city that the Tandy corporation home base is in, and they are all GONE. Did you just buy these and stash them away? I miss Radio Shack. Radio Shack before they became a cell phone business that had some components.
You'll do much better working from one end, switching ends. Much much easier
new to electronics. what is this flux that everyone is talking about? is it some liquid? what is it used for?
" And some people even think its fun" hahaha
Sorry, but several times it was seen that the solder begins to melt only in contact with the tip of the soldering iron. This indicates a bad thermal contact with the soldering iron tip - the output of the part or the polygon ring is not sufficiently heated or dirty, or problems with the tip. Yes, a drop of solder lays down beautifully and shines after soldering, but this still does not speak of reliability accurately enough.
I tried this with the breadboard supporting the header pins. It melts the hell out of the breadboard plastic.
Then you are heating them for way to long. Turn your iron up. Should not take more than a second per pin.
@@learnelectronicsOk thanks.
I've had so just better luck using YIHUA 8 series. These will work just fine tho. Don't get into all the high end soldering bullshit. I can now make a better soldering station with schematics better than a haku, or Weller. Weller aren't all that great.
I build custom mods and have went through a few 9 series... Those are oem. Not for commercial use.
Would've been a much better video if you kept your hands in can view.
