Soldering 101

Micro-Soldering Basics

Modern electronic circuit boards are populated with densely packed resistors, capacitors, integrated circuits, and other components. The demands of high capacity production coupled with equally high quality require automated soldering operations. Hand soldering is still a necessity for rework and maintenance, however.

Formal training in soldering is an advantage for students and technicians, if only to prevent expensive damage to circuit boards. When a student tries a new tool, she'll make some mistakes and learn from them. When a technician knows a job is beyond his capabilities, he's right to pass it up.

Board Basics

Printed circuit boards consist of a substrate, usually a material with good thermal and dimensional stability such as fiberglass, and etched or printed copper conductors. Complex circuit design sandwiches boards together with plated through-holes providing connections between the layers. Most components are designed to be soldered directly to the surface of the board. Leads may be tightly spaced. Flash memory chips, for example, have leads that are less than ten thousandths of an inch wide and ten thousandths of an inch apart. Hand soldering must be done carefully to avoid damage.

Soldering Standards

IPC-Association Connecting Electronics Industries sets voluntary standards for soldering, inspection, and manufacturing processes as developed by their members. Products are divided into three classes determined by the intended use. Class 1 contains general products. Class 2 requires better performance and longer life. Class 3 is for critical systems operated in harsh environments. Within each class, components must be soldered to the same standard regardless of size. Inspection is primarily visual, so a uniform appearance helps to spot discrepancies.

Types of Solder

Solder is typically categorized in terms of leaded and lead-free alloys with lead free being ROHS Compliant to the EU (European Union). The most common is an alloy of lead and tin but due to environmental concerns it is being phased out in favor of lead-free alloys. Lead-free solder is not without problems, however, and its use is currently undergoing analysis for use in aviation, medical and military systems. Lead-free solder melts at a higher temperature than lead/tin solder, requiring greater care when soldering tiny leads and pads. Over time, it can develop tin whiskers that bridge gaps and cause failures. Additionally, tin is a commodity and is mroe volatile to costs. Lead-free solder costs more than tin or lead solder.

Soldering Tools

Soldering tiny components requires a binocular magnifier at the very least. Better results can be obtained with a binocular microscope - especially for technicians with waning eyesight.

Dedicated soldering stations should be equipped with precise temperature controls and an assortment of soldering iron tips in various sizes. Separate tips should be maintained for lead-tin and lead-free soldering. Alternatively, tips can be cleaned and re-tinned with the correct solder prior to use.

Hot air can be used for hand soldering, and some stations are equipped with hot air hand pieces that are used in conjunction with paste solder. The paste consists of tiny solder balls mixed with flux and is ordinarily applied with a syringe or automatic dispenser. As the solder melts, capillary action causes components to be centered perfectly on their pads.

Many stations have thermal tweezers for removing and installing components. Large IC’s can be removed with thermal tweezers, but there is a risk of damage to the board. Such components are more safely removed with a hot-air desoldering station.

For all of your soldering and desoldering needs, including the new JBC Tools Nano stations for microsoldering, consult the product and assembly experts at Janel Online. We're available via phone or e-mail to answer any questions you may have, and look forward to helping you achieve your solder or rework goals.

Updated Precision Assembly Tweezer Line

Breaking news straight to our blog! JanelOnline.com is currently in the process of updating our independent, high-quality assembly tweezer line to continue to improve our hand and assembly tool offerings for our customers. Nevertheless, now is time to check out our growing catalog of tweezers from some of the most trusted industry brands. Janel Online’s online tweezer store touts a massive inventory of tweezers, including Erem, Excelta and Xcelite assembly tweezers.

Browse our most popular products like the Erem AM – Semi-Fine Brass, Swiss Made Tweezers for just $14.20 per set or the Excelta 0 – Three Star 4.75 inch Strong Tip Electronic Style Tweezer for only $34.58 per set. That’s $5.43 off the original manufacturer price of $40.01! You can also find economical grade tweezer kits, like the 5 piece Excelta Tweezer Kit or the 10 piece kit.

Finding the right set of tools in our online store couldn’t be easier. Search by product name, brand or price range to find the most reliable economy grade tweezers, European grade tweezers and Swiss grade tweezers all within our one-stop shopping portal.

Since tweezers are essentially extensions of our fingers for the purpose of grabbing, holding and moving smaller (and oftentimes fragile) objects, there are many different types of tweezers created for the items they are meant to handle. JanelOnline.com carries many different types in their inventory including semi fine, fine precision, anti-magnetic, soft tip, wire-cutting and stripping, flush cutting, extraction tweezers, ESD tweezers and much more.

In addition to selecting the proper body shape, when choosing the proper tweezer for the job, you must also take into account the different tweezer tips available to you. There are three tweezer tip designations:

• Biology – Have the smallest, sharpest points on the tips which are generally twice as thin as those on regular tweezers.
• High Precision – Sometimes referred to as “Standard Tips.” These are generally used for assembly of items like watches and jewelry under a microscope, but are not as sharp or small as Biology tips.
• Electronic – Sometimes referred to as “Industrial Tips.” These are thickest and (usually) least expensive tips of the three designations. They are used for non-precision work.

Don’t forget: for every purchase over $399 Janel Online is currently running a free ground shipping promotion. Simply use the purchase code “OVER399” at checkout to take advantage of this limited time offer. You can learn about many more Janel promotions by visiting our promotions page.

Need to test various component types like Dissipation Factor and Quality Factor? Janel Online also carries hand held LCR meters like the Excelta TM-500 – Rechargeable Intellitweez Meter for only $304.63. That’s a savings of $24.37 off the original manufacturer price ($329).

If you’re having trouble finding the hand and assembly tools you need in our online store, give us a call, toll-free at 1-800-782-4487 or chat online with one of our qualified representatives. The process is quick and painless.
