For Improved Solder Flow-Up

The wider surface area of a concave tip that comes into contact with the board and the lead means that there is an excellent heat supply to the solder joints,...

Point Soldering

There are a few shapes that are suitable for point soldering, however, Shape D is recommended especially for quad flat package (QFP) components.

Pre-Tinning Lead Wires

Pre-Tinning is the act of coating solder around a stranded electrical wire before actually soldering the wire. This protects the wire from oxidation as the solder forms a protective layer of coating....

Correcting Bridging

A solder bridge is formed on a circuit board when two points that are not meant to be linked ends up joined by excess solder, forming a "bridge". A solder...

Drag Soldering

Multiple tip shapes are capable of performing drag soldering. Applying flux to the leads and land pads before soldering helps to prevent problems such as solder bridges.
