Q
Soldering
— The soldering pencil has a rated output of 48 watts and is therefore
ideal for electronics soldering (see Figs. A, B).
— The design of the soldering pencil makes it especially suitable for
use where access is difficult or for fine soldering work.
Clean the soldering tip
7
on the moist solder sponge
5
.
After cleaning the tip
7
it must be “tinned” (coated with solder).
This is done by melting solder on to the hot soldering tip
7
.
Guide the soldering tip
7
to the intended joint site and heat the joint.
Place the solder (with flux) between the joint site and the tip
7
to melt it.
