    Thank you! I stopped using my skills after college in a job that was a mistake and am trying to get a job in automation and need to retrain my soldering skills.
    The calm, concise nature of this video and tips were incredible for me and I really appreciate it. Some of the things you did here I didn't learn in college or at my job. I'm going to buy some good equipment and start practicing! going to look into more of your videos. I have some old electronics I can use to get better at desoldiering. I need to look into cheap supplies for SMT practice.
    Thanks again.

    This video is a metaphor for life.
    Clean up before you start.
    Use the appropriate materials for the job, so you don't mess things up.
    Do one thing at a time.
    Put things away when you are done with them.
    Be careful not to touch things that are extremely hot.
    Sometimes high-end parts are used to record noise.
    It doesn't have to be perfect.

    Very nice demonstration. I do production, mostly through hole but always a few sm op-amps. For those opamps I'll put a little noclean flux on the pads, a drop of solder on the iron tip, use tweezers to place the part then just touch the solder to the pad/leg interface and it just sucks it up. Don't use rosin flux as you can't get it clean under the chip. thanks.

    Your work is really well done and you have a really steady hand, your planned approach is very smart and i am definitely getting one of those books. I have being soldering in the larger form for my whole career and part of my training included a little trick you might find useful. When you handle the solder it has a similar problem as finger grease on the PCB.
    I get a piece of cloth, linen is perfect, wet it with isopropyl alcohol and run the solder gently through the folded cloth. You keep doing that till the black disappears. It make a difference, especially in surface mounted soldering. Perfect is for robots. Thanks for listening

    @1957mrbill 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I do a similar process, but I add solder to one pad on all SMT parts before I begin to place anything. I find it speeds up the process a bit. Always add the solder to the pad opposite the hand you hold the tweezer so the tweezer does not get in the way when placing the part and reflowing the solder.

    • @LeoMakes
      @LeoMakes  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I get this question about flux a lot. I should probably make a video but the short version is that extra flux is not necessary when soldering a fresh PCB with a new part. That’s because virtually all electronics solders have a bit of flux in them. That tiny amount is enough to make a good connection. More flux doesn’t hurt but it’s not really necessary.
      If you were doing re-work on a board, that’s a whole other story. Then I’d put down a good bit of flux while removing the part or cleaning up a pad so that I can put down a fresh part.
      Hope this clarifies.

    A good tip after a long time of soldering:
    For small SMD components, I find it best to use solder paste with a stencil (you can get a stencil very cheap and quickly produced at many locations). Then place the components in place, and use either a hot air gun (more difficult) or a heating plate (easiest option)
    My soldering life and PCB assembly really changed after getting a heating plate. cut down the assembly time considerably.

What SMD part size would you recommend? 0603 is the smallest I've ever soldered, but 0805 is a little bit more comfortable, while I use 1206 only when 1/4W power dissipation is needed (1:1 replacement of THT resistors).
