Soldering

Most people are familiar with solder as that is the main ingredient and the visible result for creating reliable electrical connections and connecting components to a printed circuit board (PCB). But soldering requires clean surfaces without any oxidation and impurities. This is where soldering flux comes to save the day! Soldering flux is a chemical…

If you have soldered before, you might have encountered situations in which the solder doesn’t “want” to stick to the contacts or even flow where you intended. When soldering, any amount of oxidation and impurities can make the process more challenging and even lead to a bad solder joint or poor electrical connection. That is…
