Soldering

Soldering is a process in which two or more items are joined together by melting and putting a filler metal (solder) into the joint, the filler metal having a lower melting point than the adjoining metal. Unlike welding, soldering does not involve melting the work pieces. In brazing, the work piece metal also does not melt, but the filler metal is one that melts at a higher temperature than in soldering. In the past, nearly all solders contained lead, but environmental and health concerns have increasingly dictated use of lead-free alloys for electronics and plumbing purposes.

Soldering Station

“Hello everybody! It’s Zep here, and I’m back in the shop… to make a soldering station this time! Most of my shop-time I am usually woodworking. Then there are some times that I play with metal. And then …

Raspberry Pi Zero HDMI / WiFi Soldering Microscope

“Soldering SMD components can sometimes be a bit of a challenge, especially when it comes to things like 0.4mm pin pitch TQFP chips with 100 or more pins. In such cases, having access to some kind of magnification could …

Really universal soldering controller

“The intention was to build the most universal soldering controller I can think of. It can drive any low voltage (upto 24V) iron with thermocouple or resistive sensor, in series with the heater, or separate. “

“This post is the second example of how to make a 110 volt temperature controlled soldering station. Please refer to the previous post for information on materials used, their costs and where they can be obtained. The steps for modifying …

The Saga of the Soldering Stations

“Designing and building a temperature controller for a soldering iron might seem unusual in these days of cheap Chinese-made soldering stations. In my case, I went even further, designing three different controllers. Crazy? Well, here’s the full story. “

Ultimate 14-in-1 Soldering Station!

“This is a project that took me about 2 months to make, Not because it’s very complicated, But if you look at the list below, You’ll probably understand why… I don’t know why, But for some reason …

Soldering Iron PID Temperature Controller

“Soldering irons that plug in to an AC outlet are inexpensive and convenient, but one drawback to them is that they don’t have very good temperature control. They often are either too hot or not hot enough. Some plug-in …

DIY Soldering Robot - Project Completed

“The DIY soldering robot which we have been building in our spare time over the past few months is now working and we have been able to solder some test Raspberry Pi expansion board headers with the machine. Before starting …

Soldering Iron Temperature Control PLC Cycle Timer Circuit

“Getting precise temperature control is one of the challenges when working with a regular plug-in soldering iron. The best way to get temperature control is with a high quality soldering station but many people who work with electronics have one …
