This is a video demonstration showing you how to solder wires to external components such as potentiometers or pots (variable resistors), switches, fuse holders, etc. to a printed circuit board (PCB). There will be some suggestions, tips, and methods on how to prevent the wires from falling out of the printed circuit board (PCB) or moving around while soldering. There is a short discussion on wire strippers, and the type of wire to use when assembling a PCB. The tutorial is well suited for the electronic / electrical technician, technologist, engineer, trades person, or home hobbyist that has no experience with electronic proto-typing. This video would be especially useful for the person assembling an electronic kit for the first time. Please watch the additional videos using the DMM, other test equipment, and on soldering techniques.

aww let the old man show off his strippers XD but yeah, it was quite a convention lol

You made it look so simple. Thank you. I've got to do a potentiometer in the morning and have never had success. I was doing it wrong.

I've never used wire strippers, you really don't *need* wire strippers, but let me tell you it makes things faster and more secure. Don't be like me, use wire strippers. Wire strippers are not to be confused to ordinary strippers.

My mistake was soldering the wires into the eyelets that are in the insulator part of the panel mount potentiometer. I had gotten away with it on 2 pots, I think because I was using a lower temp on my iron back then, but a few kits later I had 2 pots go bad on me, and I am fairly sure it was from applying too much heat to closely to the center of the component. The legs did not have holes in them, so I just thought I could use the holes that it seems you are not suppose to use. 😂

@paultapping9510 Жыл бұрын

so I have a small power switch on a mechanical keyboard pcb, that is in entirely the wrong place for my needs. My plan was to desolder it, solder wires to each leg ( it has 6) and solder those wires back through the pcb. Is this feasible?

i have a problem i am about to solder the super tiny wire in a pcb that has no hole do have a video on how to do it ?... thanks for the help :D

Strip a small amount of insulation off the wire and then you can solder it directly to a track or pad on the pcb. If you are soldering to an existing pad, remove the solder first then solder the wire onto the pcb.

Can you solder two wires to one part ?

yes

really did learn a lot but why did u strip the wires so much

Good video, but I don't think you should say "wait for a minute" when in reality it's 1-5 seconds.

Are those tinned copper or aluminium?.

@1929fordhotrod 7 жыл бұрын

I used tinned copper wire. I have not seen aluminum wire now for a very long time.

@therealb888 7 жыл бұрын

1929fordhotrod Good to know. Tinned copper wire is the way to go!. In our country we still have cheap Al wires.

Why did you not use flux?

@1929fordhotrod 7 жыл бұрын

I am using a rosin core solder.

@therealb888 7 жыл бұрын

1929fordhotrod Even then using a small amount of no clean flux makes it much easier. Also when u place the iron back in the stand tin the tip. U never mentioned it in the video. The solder protects the hot tip.

The connection to the second potentiometer is terrible. Solder didn't fully wick into the strands, because they didn't heat enough. This would have been better by tinning the wire before twisting it around the pin, then using a small solder bridge on the iron tip for better thermal transfer. (In general, it's wiser to pre-tin stranded wire before soldering it to things.)

@1929fordhotrod 7 жыл бұрын

Actual you do not want the solder to wick into the wire on the insulation side of the wire under the insulating material of the wire. Secondly there is no purpose to have the solder wick into the wire part that will be cut off. If you look closely there was a sufficient amount of heat as the solder did wick into the wire wrapped around the post and bonded well to the post. That is all that is required for a quality connection.

@tookitogo 7 жыл бұрын

1929fordhotrod I didn't say the solder needed to wick under the insulation, which you correctly state is undesirable. And indeed, it's irrelevant whether the excess to be trimmed has wicked or not. But the outer strands of the wire wrapped around the post don't appear to have wetted at all -- there's a huge mound of solder on the post, but it hasn't wicked into the wire completely.

@1929fordhotrod 7 жыл бұрын

I was using a plated wire which might make it difficult to see depending on what you are viewing the video. I can assure you the solder did wick into the wire sufficiently. I also did make mention of the excess solder that did flow quickly down the post and is not that desirable. This is sometimes a casualty with the extra equipment getting in my way while filming.

He's saying that the external wires are naked, you can still see the filaments of the wire as they are not covered by the solder

And I am saying you, Alejandro and Antonio, have no experience nor credibility to stand on. Are we at your channel, no? You don't even have a channel, all you have are bad attitudes and zero experience. Cheers!
