CS2 Crystal Radio Kit $12.95 MA1 Motor Action Kit $11.95 BA1 Bell Action Kit $11.95 RAMSEY’S TEN COMMANDMENTS OF GOOD PC-BOARD SOLDERING 1. If the soldering iron tip is covered with burned rosin, it can’t heat your connection very well. 2. If you heat only the wire and not the wire and PC trace together, a cold, bad connection is likely. 3. If your soldering tip is big enough to bridge two adjoining connections, it probably will! 4. Dirty, grubby solder will contribute to dirty, grubby connections. 5. Any use of acid core (plumbers!) solder in electronics work will destroy everything... DON’T USE IT! 6. A connection in a large area of PC-board copper requires more heat than one pin of an IC. 7. If your connection looks dull or brittle, it's no good. 8. If your connection looks like a ball instead of a shiny cone, it's no good. 9. Thin fresh shiny rosin core solder is easier to use for PC-board work than thicker “hardware store” solder. 10. Pre-tin any stranded wires leading in and out of your PC-board kit project. It will prevent problems later! Through Hole Soldering Surface Mount Soldering GOOD ROSIN BAD
