FD-R Basic.3

3. Safe and correct soldering

Caution:
!
Incorrect soldering can cause dangers through fires and heat. Avoid
these dangers by reading and following the directions given in the
chapter Safety instructions.

Use a soldering iron with temperature control, which you set to
approx. 300 °C.

Only use electronic solder with a flux.

Never use soldering fluid or soldering grease when soldering
electronic circuits. These contain an acid that destroys components
and conductor paths.

Solder quickly: Soldering for too long can detach solder pads or
tracks or even destroy components.

Hold the soldering tip on the soldering point so that it touches the
wire and the pad at the same time. Add (not too much) solder
simultaneously. As soon as the solder begins to flow, remove it from
the soldering point. Then wait a moment for the solder to flow well
before removing the soldering iron from the soldering joint.

Do not move the created solder joint for about 5 seconds.

A clean, non-oxidized soldering tip is essential for a perfect soldering
joint and good soldering. Therefore, before each soldering, wipe off
excess solder and dirt with a damp sponge, a thick damp cloth or a
silicone wiper.

After soldering, check (preferably with a magnifying glass) whether
connections or tracks have been bridged with solder by mistake. This
can lead to malfunction or destruction of components or, in the
worst case, the complete circuit. You can re-liquefy excess solder
with the clean hot soldering tip. The solder then flows from the
board onto the soldering tip.
