[Kasyan TV] shows us how to make a really simple DIY induction soldering iron complete with DIY soldering tips. This is a pretty cool project. Most of us are used to temperature controlled ceramic ...

For most of us, the first soldering iron we pick up to start working on electronics has essentially no features at all. Being little more than resistive heaters plugged straight into the wall with ...

Modding today's hardware often means moving or removing tiny surface mount components, and using a standard soldering iron feels about as effective as using a hammer to kill a fly. If buying an ...

I've been playing around with some arduino projects on breadboards, but I now need to do a bit of soldering. Enough to build some simple circuits out of verro (?) board, populate an arduino ...

Emil Otto is aiming at joining steel, stainless steel, brass and copper objects below 450°C with three tin-based soft-soldering pastes. “The soldering and tinning pastes do not require zinc chloride, ...

Here at the Strategist, we like to think of ourselves as crazy (in the good way) about the stuff we buy, but as much as we’d like to, we can’t try everything. Which is why we have People’s Choice, in ...

One way you can control the temperature of a soldering iron is with a microcontroller, using temperature feedback from the thermistor in the handle near the iron's tip. This Design Idea presents a ...

A soldering iron should have a feel and a grip that makes it easy to hold in your hand, as if it were a large pen. For electronics, you want a slim, needle-like tip to aid in getting the heat (and ...

Preventing plating and soldering voids is about testing new manufacturing processes and analyzing the results. Plating and soldering voids usually have an identifiable cause, such as the type of ...
