How to select and determine a good solder




Solder is the equipment must be owned by the lovers of electronic and electrical technicians. Because the heart can be said solder technician jobs. Without solder, the technique will not work optimally. Well, for those of you who just dabbling in the world of electronics, then choose the solder that remains is a must, as one in choosing a solder can cause the soldered electronic components becoming damaged. Well, how to determine and select the purchase solder? following way.

The first thing to consider is the power used by the solder. The higher the power (measured in watts), then the heat generated will be higher. In the world of electronics that many struggling with the electronic components with a variety of properties, the selection of the solder becomes very important. To be safe in menyoder electronic components, look for solder with 40 watts maximum power.

With that much power, the solder is still safe to use for soldering transistors and ICs. If more than the possibility of damaging the transistor and the IC is very large, because it generated too much heat.

The second thing to note is that level of soldering tip sharpness. Usually the soldering tip is made varies, there is a bit dull, some are made very pointed. Indeed, both have their respective advantages. Solder a little more blunt suitable for soldering electronic components that large size, while the pointed menyoder suitable for electronic components with small sizes. So having both would be great. But, if forced to choose one, choose only the pointed, because the later can also be used for soldering components are large, although it would somewhat longer.

Then the third is the form of solder itself. The market sold solder with 2 forms, namely forms such as solder with solder gun and shaped like a pen. For convenience and solder kualitasm shoot better shape, but the price is also higher. If you are new to exercise, no problem using a soldering pen shape, but if you are already proficient and professional and technical fields of electronics, it is required to have this gun-shaped solder.

And the last note of the author. Almost all the solder on the outside is made of iron. So just watch her condition. Choose a course that is still shiny, indicating the solder is still new. If the iron has changed color mending dituker just ask.
