On every single console / arcade repair or console / arcade modification video I get the same comment...I wish I could do that but I can't solder! Well let me tell you...if I can do it anyone can do it! Seriously...learning how to solder is very easy and you can learn it quickly!
In this video I will show you 102 level soldering; we will be discussing through hole component soldering. Basically soldering is broken up into two categories...through hole components and surface mount components.
Through hole is definitely easier than surface mount and it accounts for a LOT of the soldering work you will do. So I will show you how to properly solder through hole components, best practices for producing a correct solder joint, how to use flux and why / when you use it...and other helpful tips!
But for real...it's not as hard as it seems. With a little bit of practice you will be soldering in no time.
Note : this is part of a series. Consider this the "How to Solder 102". It is NOT for surface mount components, trace repair or any other fine pitch soldering. This is to get you started!
Oh...and I am NOT an engineer. I've made this tutorial to be as fun and understandable as possible :)
Here is what I use : note....I make NO money off these links
