Soldering
Soldering holds a close place to my heart. Weird thing to say but it’s true. I learned in my electronics class in high school (shout out Mr. Faddis). In one way or another I carried this skill until today. Really this class inspired me to become an electrical engineer and now I’m here working in […]
Solder and Flux Usage
There are many types of solder to choose from with different alloy make up. Different solder types often have specific applications and melting temperatures. Most common solders used are 63-37 Tin Lead Rosin core, or lead-free solder SN99 AG0.3 CU0.7. I find myself using leaded solder as it’s the easiest to find and have consistent […]
