I wish I've seen your videos when I started with electronics, high amount of useful info condensed in a short amount of time with no compromises on the clarity of the message. My compliments!

Finally... This is the first and only video on YT, where the soldering iron is not dirty or ugly. Thx.

For the fiddly components like LEDs and pin headers I use "tack soldering". Put solder on the tip of the iron, hold the component in place and touch it the tip to a pin, just enough to hold it in place. Then solder the other pin(s) and finally properly solder the tacked pin. Similar to how you tack SMD components into place first, then solder them properly.

I liked the magnet trick. Thanks

That Magnet trick was so smart.

I just hold it with my fingers and soldering it fast before burning my magic fingers

I'm a technician for 6 years, sometimes we do large number of board assemblies and using things like this makes us slow. I'm just using all my fingers on my left hand to hold the solder wire, components and sometimes the board also. It is really doable infact I can still aim the solder lead to where it should be melted. But after watching this video I really considering using some of the tricks you taught us while I'm repairing a board cause sometimes it is really hard to solder components.

Welp. I am quite noob-ish at all of this and just wasted a whole hour trying to get some MOSFETs on my board and they aren't all the same height and I probably got them too hot while trying to get them on right. Wish I had watched this video first. This was a damned fine video. Thank you.

Simply outstanding. Extraordinary summary that beginners and experts must follow. Congratulations.

6:00 Oh noes, slimes are eating my circuit board! Great and clear presentation, as always well done.

So many great ideas for speeding up various soldering jobs! Great video and thanks!

Awesome tips!! I would also recommend electrician’s putty. Use in small quantity and it’s easy to remove.

ur channel helped a lot, for someone who learn soldering like me.

Lol I like how u show cased a ton of different tapes!

Thanks for this! I’ve only soldered on boards I’ve etched before. This helps a lot because I’m starting on PCB boards.

Clothespins!! Clever idea, thanx a lot. I love your videos, they are so positive-mooded with that music :)

I think it should be compulsory in schools for students to watch your videos when learning about soldering. Great stuff 👍🏾

What removes better, the clay or the blue tack? Doesn`t it leave residue behind?

I never thought of using a magnet! Thanks!

Dagonnit, this is just what I needed. Thanks so much

Ever since I saw someone using blue tak I’ve been hooked on using that, I’ve yet to run into a through hole component that it didn’t work on, although the magnet trick is pretty cool.

Why did your video make me so emotional?

I've never tried holding parts with tape and whatnot. I solder one lead then hold it flat while re-soldering it again. SIP connectors will get a dab of solder from the iron while I hold it, then I'll re-solder it straight and flat like above. Just don't put your finger over the lead you're soldering or you'll be donating to the swear jar.

Yeaah...good idea...I was always in the problem to put the components in place when soldering.

Clothes pins, that's new to me, bo blu tack is da bomb

please explain how to use that type of bradboard to create circuits, what type of cable and whatever you think is relevant! TY!

These are smart techniques. I usually tack one of the pins in any position, then correct the position of the package using the other hand by melting the tack, and then complete all the pins.

Already subscribed to your channel for the very usefull tips on soldering. Thanks so much for your videos! Can I ask you where I can find that kind of green carpet you use in your table? On Internet I found only silicone repairing carpet. I don't know what is the proper name for that kind or carpet.

Thanks for posting.New subscriber.Learned quite a few helpful tips in the last hour,watching several of your videos

Awesome content, man ! Subbed instantaneously !

Useful video,hope i can learn a bit further about Though Hole Technology soldering method

♥ love your work

Are you come from Thailand? I saw you use Thai clay.

I've always used blu tack. If not, I usually hold component with one hand, and then solder 1 pin with solder already on the iron tip. This pin will usually have cold solder but it doesn't matter, the point is for the component to be fixed on the PCB, and it usually works. Reflow it with more fresh solder and you are good.

I liked the use of magnets.

Excellent

Amazing, you're video very help me. You have new subscribers. Thanks

I was using blue tack but like the magnet idea. I will try magnets.

What are the magnets dimensions you use? I suppose you bought them on aliexpress. Would you be so kind and paste a link, please?

Nice❤

interesting video , what to say, some ideas are good some not so , but generally it is good video .

Always professional

very instructive

Beginners question: Doesn't the clay and/or tape melt when soldering?

Всё так сложно...)) Я обычно пальцем придерживаю чтобы один контакт прихватить. А с магнитом вообще круто! Нигде такого не видел.

If only I knew it sooner :D

Blu tack is where it’s at. Best off hand ever made!

You can use kneaded erasers if you can't find blue tack or clay.

A good joke with a magnet! I think you should change the supplier of the Pin Headers!

Nice

So helpful

Finally new video :D !!!

That is interesting

LOVE U MAN

It's good if you're soldering once in a year. Better to use PCB holders. China makes a lot of them now. Some good clones for funny money. It will be a not easy case if you're soldering more than a few elements on a protoboard. Usually bending leads wins. For soldering other things i use a PCB holder while manually (or with tweezers) holding an element. You can solder one leg without that "right 90 degree angle", then you just push it from another side and apply heat again. It will be fixed then. In some cases it needs to be two legs soldered then you push (manually or with a tool) then fix it. For a big amount of similar components people use special frames. It's a tool that keeps a PCB in place and a soft styrofoam holds elements from a backside. Then soldering those legs becomes easy-peasy :)

Magnet trick is genius.

The best way to hold elements, if they are with different size is with alu foil. You can wrap alu foil from behind and you can shape it following all elements shapes :D.

Amaziingggg

Гениально чувак!

I think the clay works best

polichu macha manassilayavar like adikkuka and comment

Thankyou

Blue Tack put , quit and reuse.

Over simplification. The problem is compounded because there may be 12-15 components on the tiny board. It is easier to use forceps/tongs in narrow areas.

Be extremely careful when using magnets because some electronic parts are sensitive to magnetic field and it can dammage the chip(s) if not careful. Even if you are using the magnets to hold a different part the feild of the magnets can dammage nearby parts.

Damn I want to eat that clay!

magnets and cloths clip,

good

...or use your finger :)

Don't know why I do not like the idea of bending pins of components, I love to keep them all straight.

i always keep chewing bubble gums. I use them

Is this Einstein ?

That English tho xD

the easiest way is to spot vyobivatsya and hold them with your fingers. also, heating magnets demagnetizes them.

Бред же, кто паяет давно все держит рукой и не обжигает пальцы т.к. они давно обожжены и кожа огрубела.

:)))

There is NO need for any of this silly mucking around. Place all lowest height items (eg: resistors) then place the PCB down on the fucking table, and solder. Then place the next highest and place the PCB on the fucking table, and solder. It's not hard.

просто дизлайк за этот бред
