A helping hand when soldering
(Deutsche Version) Whoever did soldering knows the problem: You have to take the soldering iron, the solder, element A and element B in your hand. Sadly a (normal) human body has too few hands for this. In most cases it is enough to fixate an element. You can buy a so called "third hand" or use a bench vice. If you do not have any of these, here is a simple solution using pliers and a rubber band:
The rubber band simulates a hand which uses the pliers. On the front, you can put in an element (e.g. a multi-pin connector).

Flex soldering is a technique for precise low-temperature soldering of electronic components. Flexible solders are designed to meet the performance requirements of printed circuit board assembly, rework, and repair applications. Flexible solder is most often used in aircraft and aerospace manufacturing because it withstands higher temperatures than ordinary wire solder and has excellent tensile strength
ReplyDeleteThe use of flex solder allows for easy removal by unsoldering after heat has been applied. This is because there isn’t a chemical bond between the lead and the copper wire like there is with ordinary wire solder. The parts can be reused over again unlike with ordinary wire solder where they would have to be thrown out once the wires have been completely melted off
