Study Notes
Soldering Tools
- A desoldering pump, also known as a solder sucker, is used to remove excess solder from a joint by creating a vacuum to suck up the molten solder.
- A solder wick, also known as a desoldering braid, is a copper braid that absorbs excess solder from a joint, allowing for its removal.
Wire Preparation
- Wire strippers are used to remove the insulation from the ends of electrical wires, exposing the conductive core, in order to make connections or joints.
Soldering Equipment
- A soldering station is a self-contained unit that provides a controlled heat source, usually in the form of a soldering iron, and a temperature control system, allowing for precise and consistent soldering.
Electrical Measurement
- A multimeter is a device used to measure electrical properties such as voltage, current, resistance, and continuity, providing a way to diagnose and troubleshoot electrical circuits.
Soldering Materials
- Solder is a fusible metal alloy used to join two metal pieces together by melting and flowing into the joint, creating a strong electrical connection.
