How To Make Soldering Tip

Using a fine tip on my iron I again used a 700 degree tip dabbed the area with liquid flux and soldered the wire to the lead and exposed trace.

How to make soldering tip. Dont be afraid to move your panel so that you get the best angle for running the bead. Apply very little flux in the solder joints and make the soldering. Place the soldering iron tip onto the sensor and apply solder as if you were making a solder connection.

Then once we close the core wire the molten soldering takes its place above the spot to cover the whole spot surface and to connect the component foot to the circuits spot. After soldering check the solder joints carefully. The soldering lead and the iron tip should be at an angle of 45 degrees so as the make the solder flow easily.

We clean the soldering tip and we place the components one by one so I will solder this IC socket which has 16 pins. Begin by making sure the tip is attached to the iron and screwed tightly in place. And the electric components size and shape finally select the one that you think or feel comfortable using.

After narrowing down the tip shape and size considering the thermal capacity of the PWB. Select the soldering tip which you feel comfortable using. Rest your soldering hand on the bench to stop it wobbling as you go.

Probably the easiest way is to grind or taper one end of a long brass rod and then make rough threads similar to the ones the original non-brass tip has screw it into the soldering iron cut it off an inch or so and then sharpen the end that was just separated from the rod. When the iron is hot wipe both sides of the soldering tip on the sponge. To make a long story short thats how I made the first tip.

Your goal is to remove old solder from the tip. Place the braid over unwanted solder preferably on the greatest solder build up so that it maximizes the contact of the braid to the surface area of the solder. Turn on your soldering iron and let it heat up.
