Soldering a Resistor Wire

I used to want to melt the solder onto the joint but you need to heat the joint, in this case a resistor wire and the pad on the board together.

Then add the solder

This is what finished looks like with resin around the outside

In this example, the person heated the pad and wire for 8 seconds before applying solder

Joining Wires

When joining wires, tin the wires first by heating the wire and then adding the solder.

Add Heat shrink one end and Hold Wires in position

Next join the two wires together

Tools

One recommendation was a PCB holder. You can buy these at [Jaycar]
