DO IT YOURSELF ON ZERO PCB

DO IT YOURSELF ON ZERO PCB

DO IT YOURSELF

STEP 1: Get ready with the components and a zero PCB board.

STEP 2: Start by placing the component into its holes. Place it so that its legs come out on the same side as the solder pads. check below reference image.

STEP 3: On the solder side of the board, bend the legs of the component a bit. This way it won’t fall out when you flip the board upside down.

Feel free to add several components at once.

 

STEP 4: Now you’re ready to start soldering.

STEP 5: Put the tip of the iron on the pad so that it heats both the leg of the component and the pad of the circuit board.

STEP 6: Heat them for a second or so before you apply solder. Keep the iron on the joint while you add solder.

STEP 7: When you have enough solder, remove the solder wire. Then remove the soldering iron tip from the joint.

STEP 8: Inspect your solder joint to see if it looks okay. A good solder joint has kind of a cone shape.

STEP 9:If you are happy with your soldering, cut off the component lead from above the solder joint.

But don’t cut it too short! That will make your life hard if you for some reason have to desolder the component later.
