In addition to good soldering equipment, it is also necessary to have the soldering tools needed for good soldering. These soldering tools are responsible for preparing the material before soldering and cleaning the surface after treatment.
The following are the soldering tools used in soldering, which can help you better complete the soldering work:
1. Solder: Solder is the filler material that melts and joins two materials. Its melting point should be lower than the material to be joined. Only then will the solder melt and bond the material in the first place. There are two types of solder: leaded and lead-free solder.
2. Flux: Flux is a chemical reagent used to clean the metal surfaces to be joined. You can solder without flux. The main advantage of using flux is that you can only apply the flux in the area to be soldered, which is very useful when soldering small components.
3. Solder sealing wire connector: The solder sealing wire connector is in the shape of a small tube for connecting wires.
4. The tip of the soldering iron that heats and melts the solder is called a solder . It is usually made of a copper core because copper is a good conductor of heat.
5. Tin suction tape
Solder tape is a desoldering tool made of intertwined copper wires. When you place the tip of the strip and heat it, the strip melts the solder and absorbs it.
6. Soldering magnifying glass: soldering magnifying glass is used for microelectronics soldering work. Microelectronics soldering requires high precision that is impossible to be achieved with the naked eye. So you have to use a magnifying glass to see the electronic parts clearly. The magnifier will come with a stand so you don't have to hold them. They are available in magnifications ranging from 2x to 10x, depending on the model.
