The minimum set for the novice amateur radio

Skill soldering ownership comes with experience, but before you get the experience you need to purchase the so-called starter kit beginner radio amateur. In this article I will just tell you of what it is and what to buy to begin with. So, let's begin.

Soldering

So, in order to solder something you and I need a soldering iron (feel-captain obviousness). Now the choice is so huge that you can immerse yourself in the selection process for many hours (browsing various reviews and comparisons).

But I tell you so, if you are just starting training soldering, the soldering station to buy supernavorochennogo it is not necessary, but also to take the most "deshmansky" soldering iron with a thick non-replaceable tip, too undesirable.

It would be the best ceramic tool with replaceable tips and adjustable temperature.

And for him to buy a removable copper sting

That's enough with the head of the kettle is not only a beginner, but also suitable for amateur middling to build simple electronic handicrafts.

Solder and flux

The following important components to perform soldering are: solder and flux.

Here, too, the choice is wide enough. There solders most simple and cheap (PIC-40; PIC-60) and specialized leadless containing silver.

Of course, silver solder, and we do not need to start is fine most common POS-60, but I personally recommend the use of WWTP-50 (or as it is called Rose's metal). This is a great chorus that is suitable for the majority of actions, which need something to solder or to tin.

And note solder wound in the form of a thin wire coils, often it is already directly with flux which is located in the central cavity of the solder wire.

It is also a very convenient option. And generally it is better to have Rose's metal and small katushechku.

Now consider the flux

Flux - a special substance, which facilitates the brazing process (removes oxide from the metal and prevents the formation of a film again).

The most severe and budget option is the use of rosin.

Which in fact is treated pine resin. In principle, you can even use pine pitch straight from the tree, but in this case, because of the large dust and impurities Palniki sting will quickly become clogged and need to be kept up his clean.

There are also special solutions and rosin acids, rosin and an alcohol.

But first, the most common rosin enough for the eyes. By the way, to buy a soldering iron as in the photo may be in this storeAnd solder here.

This is all that is needed for execution of the first solder. If you liked this article, then we evaluate Like, do repost and subscribe.
