• Prepare the Work Area — Ensure good ventilation by working near an open window or using a fume extractor. Clean your soldering iron tip and tin it with a small amount of solder. Have your electronic components and PCB ready.
• Heat the Joint — Apply the heated soldering iron tip to both the component lead and the PCB pad simultaneously for 1-2 seconds to heat them evenly. The iron tip should be hot enough to melt the solder instantly.
• Apply Solder — Touch the Kester solder wire to the heated joint (not the iron tip). The solder should flow smoothly and evenly around the component lead and pad, forming a shiny, concave fillet. Remove the solder wire first, then the iron.
• Inspect and Clean — Allow the joint to cool naturally. Inspect for a shiny, smooth connection. If dull or balled, reheat and add a tiny bit more solder. Clean any flux residue with isopropyl alcohol if necessary.
