Test Your Soldering Skills

Soldering Basics

• Soldering is a process of joining two metal pieces together using a filler metal (solder) with a lower melting point than the work pieces.

Creating a Strong Bond

• A strong electrical bond between electronic parts during soldering is created by the formation of an alloy between the solder and the metals being joined.

Reversing a Soldered Connection

• A soldered connection can be reversed using a process called desoldering, which involves using a desoldering wick or a desoldering pump to remove the solder from the joint.
