Soldering tips
Soldering tips
I’m planning on soldering my next KB, do you guys have any tips on soldering irons, solder materials, etc, to make it go smoothly? I’ve only soldered bulky stuff so I have a soldering iron appropriate for a gorilla.
You're viewing a single thread.
Pinecil/TS100/TS80p with D-something tips (chisel) are great irons for electronics (and Pinecil > TS***), they are small, temperature controlled, heat up super quick (like seconds) and make using leadfree solder a breeze. Just make sure to also buy a decent power supply with it (if your laptop has a USB-C power supply you can probably use that)
Other than that, practice makes perfect so depending if you're soldering SMD diodes or not consider working on something else first (maybe a kit?), if I can do this then I believe you can too!
