Soldering Wires to External Components & the PCB | Tips & Methods |
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.
