The focus of this training program is on hand soldering basics using tin-lead solder. For a comparative program on hand soldering basics using lead free solder, please see DVD-43C. For a video comparison and explanation of the differences between tin-lead and lead free hand soldering in general, see our program DVD-45C.

DVD-42C explains proper workstation practices, personal safety considerations, ESD prevention, soldering iron types, temperature selection, tip types and applications, heat transfer principles, how to avoid thermal damage, tin-lead solder types, sizes and applications, flux theory, low residue fluxes, wetting principles, soldering through-hole components onto printed circuit boards, tip tinning, tool maintenance, reheating solder, heat sinks / thermal shunts, soldering thick boards, preheating, and flux residue cleaning. It also explains PTH solder joint acceptance requirements from both IPC-A-610 and J-STD-001.
