Introduction: This activity is about practicing soldering on a phenolic board and focuses on applying lead solder to the board as a way to build skills. The objective is to practice handling the soldering iron, melting the solder, and ensuring it flows smoothly onto the board’s copper pads. This helps in mastering control over the soldering process, creating consistent and clean solder joints. Even without attaching components, this practice is essential for developing steady hands and precision, making future soldering tasks easier
Objectives: For further understanding of the topic here are 3 objectives that need to be understood before we continue 1. Gather the required or necessary materials to conduct this project 2. Familiarize yourself with the different tools and techniques needed. and 3. Apply what you have learned and reflect on what you have made to see if there are any improvements needed.
Methodology:
Materials: Here are the materials used in this project: 1. 6x2 Phenolic Board 2. Short Bond Paper 3. Pencil 4. Eraser 5. Ruler 6. Masking Tape 7. Soldering Iron 8. Soldering Wire (lead) 9. Soldering Iron Stand 10. Sand Paper 11. Gloves 12. Eye Mask 13. Mask
Procedure:
Steps Procedure
In the Short Bond Paper draw the 6x2 Phenolic Board and draft a 1 line that will intersect 184 times (8 horizontally and 23 vertically). Make sure that they are evenly spaced.
Use the Sand Paper to roughen the copper side of the Phenolic 2 Board
Using the drawing on the Short Bond Paper, trace it on the 6x2 3 Copper Plate. Once you’re done tracing it prepare the necessary material and 4 equipment for soldering (Prepare the Soldering iron and stand and wear protective equipment).
For every line that intersects with each other use the Soldering 5 Iron to add a decent amount of lead. Make sure that you let it cook for at least 5 seconds before removing the Soldering Iron.
Repeat step 4 until all 184 intersections have been covered with 6 lead.
Let it cool down and check if the leads are smooth and shiny. If a 7 lead is not clean then cook it again for 5 seconds before letting it cool once again. If it's not shiny, if possible replace the lead.
Once satisfied with your work use the Masking Tape to secure it 8 in the Short Bond Paper with the draft neatly.
Question and Answers:
Here are the common questions that will be asked with a proper answer included.
1. Does it need to be exactly 184 intersections?
Answer: Yes, but you can have it less or more than 184 whatever suits you best. 2. What counts as not smooth and Shiny? Answer: For not smooth some leads are rough when touched meaning that it's not smooth, for not clean the lead is either dark or messy. 3. How to remove the lead it’s hard to fix. Answer: The best way is to remove the entire lead and re-add a new one.
Conclusion: In conclusion, practicing soldering on a phenolic board by applying lead solder helps develop essential skills for creating clean and reliable connections. It improves control over the soldering iron and builds confidence in handling the solder, leading to smoother and more consistent joints. This basic practice is key to successful and durable soldering in real projects.
