+Darrell Batton: Because *bad* information is worse than none at all, and unfortunately this video has lots of misinformation. You're better off learning *good* technique, which will save you lots of time and heartache down the line. This guy keeps his iron WAY too hot (so the solder oxidizes faster, giving you less time to work), he applies far too much solder to the joints, flicking solder off the iron is dangerous... shall I go on? Instead of attacking the messenger, go look at the sources I've recommended and see what proper soldering technique is.

Today I tried to change a few caps on my Slingbox HD and even though I thought I had the right tools -- Radio Shack 25w soldering iron and desoldering tool, braided copper, I still couldn't get them off without overheating the board. I think I need a little more heat (40w perhaps) and a better solder sucker. Those rubber ones 'don't' suck compared to those pump-up solder-suckers that I've seen in YT videos. If I get the right tools and use some of your other tricks I should be fine. Anyway, thanks again for a very straight-forward and easy to understand tutorial. :thumbs up: /subscribed

To answer the question someone left as to why fresh solder works to remove old solder.....because solder, when heated and in "liquid" form, is attracted to itself. Just like Mercury,water or any substance in liquid form. Also, when solder is hot, it's easier to get the old solder hot quicker because the heat is spread out over a larger area and so the solder gets attracted to each other. Example, if you put a 70 yr. old woman and a 25 yr. old next to each other and have a 70 yr. old man choose with whom to be, HE'LL CHOOSE THE 25yr. OLD! Why? Because she's young,more energetic,easier to get hot,more cute(shinier) and will be able to make him feel young again! As for the 70yr. Old, she'll be dull,slow to get hot,slower on the move and won't be able to make his components work properly. So it'll just ruin his project. I hope I've been able to give a clarifying answer to the question.

@aliallam98778 жыл бұрын
+MghUnit407 What's interesting is that while soldering is adding a different material (to the copper of the wires), the solder actually slightly dissolves the copper of the wire, creating a strong alloyed joint which is both electrically and mechanically sound. (That said, it's good practice to always design a strong mechanical joining anyway, and not rely solely on the solder for mechanical support. For example, how the wires in this video are twisted together first. You wouldn't just lay them next to each other and have only the solder linking them.)

With all due respect, I really hope you that's not how you really solder THT components for professional purposes. The soldering is supposed to go penetrate through the hole to form a good connection and it will also reduce vibrations and the excess solder is not supposed to make a concave dome nor a triangle, but to form the shape of a volcano that gradually go down to the base. The quick upper motion is also useless, check the specification for what temperature you should be using, that would explain the upper motion and the color of your solders... When it comes down to through-hole components you need to have a beautiful volcano shape, a certain brillance on your solder (pure tin doesn't shine though) and penetration of solder.

@@iandaysh3193 With all due respect, if you're teaching people something, do it right. Let's assume he's using NPTH prototype PCB yeah? If you solder your components as if they were being soldered on PTH PCBs and they're not hugging ring, you're even worse than I originally thought hahaha. If you're using NPTH you need to give your component proper support and push the legs either outward or inward, it needs to hug the hole properly, solder isn't magic glue. The soldering job is horrible anyways. 60/40 isn't lead free, a proper solder job should be shiny, not matte finish, it cooled down too quickly, fucking flick of the wrist bullshit.

Im trying to figure out whether I wanna do electronics as a hobby and Im watching this great video to get a refresh on soldering, on the 1st January 2024. Happy new years everybody and hopefully other people can watch this video in a decade from now, like me rn.
I don't care HOW it is pronounced...I just want to know how its done. This was a good start. Thanks for this!
+Darrell Batton Just beware that if you follow this video, you'll be making it harder for yourself than it needs to be. There's pretty much nothing in this video that is good advice. Instead, look for the soldering tutorials from PACE Worldwide and EEVblog.
Antonio Tejada Nothing?
+Darrell Batton Pretty much nothing. Watch the tutorials I refer to to see what I mean.
Antonio Tejada What do the other videos have to do with this one have "pretty much nothing" of value? I learned several things from it that I've since confirmed. If anything here has wasted my time, it was your comment. Go pee on someone else's parade.
+Darrell Batton: Because *bad* information is worse than none at all, and unfortunately this video has lots of misinformation. You're better off learning *good* technique, which will save you lots of time and heartache down the line. This guy keeps his iron WAY too hot (so the solder oxidizes faster, giving you less time to work), he applies far too much solder to the joints, flicking solder off the iron is dangerous... shall I go on? Instead of attacking the messenger, go look at the sources I've recommended and see what proper soldering technique is.
I’m “self taught” when it comes to soldering and now know I’ve been doing it completely wrong this entire time. So thank you so much for this tutorial, it’s gonna help me immensely in the future.

Thank you for all the excellent details! Just got my first soldering iron tonight. So glad I watched this video before I did anything else after opening my kit.
This is the best tutorial I found. I went from a bloby messy joints (first time) to actually good joints from his few seconds of demo! That's good teaching :) thank you
Very helpful. Thank you for the tips. No pun intended
A very short and comprehensive video with no blabla - thank you sir!
Thanks so much for doing this tutorial. It helped out with all the issues I was having and also answered some questions I had. After watching your technique, I attempted the failed project I was working on. It turned out flawless.......saved me a bunch. Again, thanks.

Thank you for this! I just got a soldering iron and now I feel like I can use it! :)
This was a great video! Thank you! I've owned a soldering iron since I was a kid... but I never really knew how to use it. Apparently I'm using the wrong solder too. Thank you EH for a very informative video. I'm going to mark this under my favorites to keep it.
this video is excellent - no bs, small talk, self promo, not even an outro. Just helpful tips. Cheers mate!
I rewatch this video every once in a while. Very comprehensive, and you have good form with that iron.
Great video! Thank you very much. It certainly helps having the right tools. Today I tried to change a few caps on my Slingbox HD and even though I thought I had the right tools -- Radio Shack 25w soldering iron and desoldering tool, braided copper, I still couldn't get them off without overheating the board. I think I need a little more heat (40w perhaps) and a better solder sucker. Those rubber ones 'don't' suck compared to those pump-up solder-suckers that I've seen in YT videos. If I get the right tools and use some of your other tricks I should be fine. Anyway, thanks again for a very straight-forward and easy to understand tutorial. :thumbs up: /subscribed
While watching I found out what I have been doing wrong and its as simple as tinning the tip
Same here, while I did solder a couple things recently I did not tin the tip
This is one of the better videos I've seen for soldering. You answered a lot of my questions, thank you!!
keeping your tip clean has been a great life lesson in a lot of areas!

Can folks please STOP commenting on the solder pronunciation... Just nuts! It was a very helpful video, thanks for the tip.

Thank you for this video. Never needed to do more than solder a few wires together. But now I needed to solder in headers to a tiny circuit board. I was afraid of ruining it! Your video explained so much! Heat the pin, apply the solder NOT to the iron but to the pin. I practiced once and then tried it. Worked perfectly the first time. Thanks!
The tip about heating the metal pin then adding solder made sense as it was difficult for me to solder but thinking back heating the metal pin first makes sense so thank you!

Great tutorial. I've just changed my monitor's capacitors. First time the whole experience. Thank you
Thanks for the video. No complaints here. Good useful information. I will leave the negative comments to the "experts" below.
Mission accomplished. Short, sweet, and to the point.
Needed a refresher on the technique and this was just dandy. Well filmed and straight to the point.
Well done and well presented
Something else to mention: if you don't have any other heat sources to shrink your heat shrink tubing, you can use the metal shaft of your soldering iron. I had to do that because I was in a pinch and it worked flawlessly.
Just needed a review because it's been a few years since I soldered. Thanks for the quickie.
Very helpful video. As a newbie to soldering this has highlighted my mistakes. Top notch job mate, thank you and have subscribed to your channel
enjoyed your video mate as i'm a rookie at soldering. Liked the comment about the pronounciation, ha ha- from Downunder
Use RMA flux while doing this, always. The flux located at the core of the solder is never enough. Just enough is there so the solder wire itself can flow evenly. Still, you should always use more flux. (I work in Class 3 for Military and commercial. Flux is your friend.)

My favorite thing isn't that some English think Americans are speaking English wrong, but that they are speaking it right. If you honestly believe that you aren't speaking English differently then they were 50 to 100 years ago... let alone a thousand. Languages evolve and adapt. A distance of 4000 miles will have it evolve and adapt differently.
And indeed, where our pronunciation differs, it's actually the North American pronunciation that is the original one. (No joke.)
Antonio Tejada Lol.
***** It's not a joke. You can find countless examples of American English retaining the historical form while UK English has changed.
Antonio Tejada so 200 years ago the English in America was spoken like the Americans speak it now?
It's true. What English evolved into in England is English, and what English evolved into in other parts of the world is ghastly and just wrong. ; )
Wish I watched this before started my keyboard mod project lol.
Thank you so much for this. I appreciate you taking the time to teach.
Such a great video. All these tips will come in handy on my weekend project
that very very last hint on desoldering is great for me, thanks a lot!
Good Video. My only critique is that you are too aware about "comments" for your video. It is sad that people need to worry about trolls and idiots when all you are trying to do is share knowledge and experience. My suggestion would be to just do a good video and disregard what other people say. If you are knowledgeable or are an expert in something, don't let other people interject themselves into your video.
Andrew Douglass That said, he's not an expert. Far from it: Nothing in this video is good advice.
Antonio Tejada And where is your video's Antonio??I thought this video was well done and informative.
Todd Bloomingdale In other replies, I've pointed people to the tutorials by PACE Worldwide and EEVblog. I'm not an expert solderer (though I'm better than the guy who posted this video), so why should I make a video when true experts already have superb videos on here? All I am saying -- and this is true -- is that THIS video is absolutely full of bad advice, and that if you want to learn to solder properly, you should look at the videos by PACE and EEVblog instead.
+Andrew Douglass exactly, i tink d reference to the comments gave dudes like antonio tejada all d platform dey needed to do their negativity
+Loyalty Otokpa Why should people how don't know what they're talking about be teaching others?! It's not wanton negativity, it's helping people by making sure they don't learn bad technique.
What an INCREDIBLY helpful video! I was taught to do this incorrectly - now I know why it's always been so frustrating. I'm going out tomorrow to pick up some soldering gear and practice!
What do you practice with? Asking bc I also need to practice
@@SharkWitchMeruna you can buy practice boards for soldering
Wow thanks for sharing your expertise and advice with us all!
To answer the question someone left as to why fresh solder works to remove old solder.....because solder, when heated and in "liquid" form, is attracted to itself. Just like Mercury,water or any substance in liquid form. Also, when solder is hot, it's easier to get the old solder hot quicker because the heat is spread out over a larger area and so the solder gets attracted to each other. Example, if you put a 70 yr. old woman and a 25 yr. old next to each other and have a 70 yr. old man choose with whom to be, HE'LL CHOOSE THE 25yr. OLD! Why? Because she's young,more energetic,easier to get hot,more cute(shinier) and will be able to make him feel young again! As for the 70yr. Old, she'll be dull,slow to get hot,slower on the move and won't be able to make his components work properly. So it'll just ruin his project. I hope I've been able to give a clarifying answer to the question.
Haha, that does clear some things up. Thanks Hector!
awesome response.
Genius explanation! Thanks man.
It is also the flux in the solder which helps to clean the joint
"Keep your tip clean" great tip for young men
What else could there be? An excellent demonstration thank you for sharing. I know this has helped me immensely.
Sorry to bump a very old video, but I just want to say thank you, this is golden knowledge.
question: the solder allows current to flow? or does it acts like glue, just holding it together
+MghUnit407 Solder is like wire, it allows the electricity to flow.
+MghUnit407 it is a metal connection so it is conductive
+MghUnit407 What's interesting is that while soldering is adding a different material (to the copper of the wires), the solder actually slightly dissolves the copper of the wire, creating a strong alloyed joint which is both electrically and mechanically sound. (That said, it's good practice to always design a strong mechanical joining anyway, and not rely solely on the solder for mechanical support. For example, how the wires in this video are twisted together first. You wouldn't just lay them next to each other and have only the solder linking them.)
+Evan Giordano maybe he is, but he asks to learn. so please stfu
+MghUnit407 In Simple words it allows current because the "Iron" is lead
Thanks - I wish I had seen this before I wrecked my circuit board!
-or circuit boards in my case.

Love how you say "if you're poor" in relation to electrical tape usage, and then proceed to use a cigarette lighter to shrink the heat shrink tubing 😂 when someone who's "not poor" would use a hot air gun. Irony.
unlokia Or, maybe he smokes, or has some other reason to keep a lighter in his pocket. When I use heat-shrink, I use a lighter, too. It's a convenient heat source, and it accomplishes the purpose, just as well. I know some HVAC guys who use an acetylene torch to shrink it down, just because the torch is handy.
I'd say it's more for noise, he was making a recording.
