Lap Joint
Stripped insulation from the wires to expose the metal Twisted the ends to create a clean and tight bundle of wires Position the two tinned wires next to each others, and then apply solder to the joint until the wires are connected Through-Hole Soldering
Bend resistor legs, insert into board Heat each pad and leg, then apply solder until it forms volcano shape around leg Check to make sure solder covers whole pad Cut the excess leg with the flush cutters
Reflection
This lab emphasized proper soldering techniques, how to properly make strong and clean solder joints, as well as familiarizing ourselves with the soldering process. Having soldered before, my main mistakes were
