Soldering Tutorial Smd Part 3 Surface Mount Smd Component Xtronic Which solder is optimal for guitar wiring? i seem to have a spool of this lead free rosin core solder solder. it contains 97.3% tin, 0.7% copper, 2.0% rosin flux core. would this work well for guitar wiring? in the past i've used radioshack 60 40 rosin core solder, but i've run out. should i just. Hi. i'm looking doing my first from scratch project and i don't know the difference between connecting the tip and and sleeve on jacks. i think i get the jist, but can someone explain the difference and how to do them? pictures would be great. thanks.
Soldering Tutorial Smd Part 3 Surface Mount Smd Component Xtronic I have some soldering practice from modding stompboxes, changing pickups, etc. but this stompbox i'm building has some transistors in it, and i've been told that the heat from the iron may damage the transistors, and i need to use a heat sink to avoid that. however, i don't really understand what heat sinks are, or how they work. This nonsense about soldering drives me fuckin' crazy if you don't absolutely know how to properly use a soldering iron or if you don't know the difference between a soldering iron & a soldering gun you can do more damage to your equipment than you think. blown caps? overheated pots? bad cold solder joints? tell me about it. Before i go out and buy a soldering iron to do pickup and guitar wiring with, i want to make sure i'm headed in the right direction. as i understand it, the best all around wattage for working on a guitar is 40 watts and the best brand of iron to get is a weller. am i correct?. I noticed using a 25 watt iron while replacing my electronics on my strat that it was very difficult to get a proper hot joint. it took what i felt is an excessively long time to heat it enough to melt the solder, a couple minutes give or take. is a 40 watt iron or gun a better way to go for guit.

[a quick squeeze with a pair of pliers will do it]. 2) where you have not folded back the lug, hook the wires and solder them to the jumper lead rather than the shell; or if the lug is folded, hook the wires and solder to the lug. Im assuming you will be soldering this so if you are soldering, just use the tip of the iron to burn off the coating, and the wire will be in perfect condition. Soldering wires to speaker terminals is one of the easiest soldering jobs to do, but if you don't want to solder then get some crimp on spade connectors and use them to connect the speaker. It'd be nice, if you're swapping out pups just to see how they sound, to be able to do it without de soldering and re soldering several times. is there any good way to wire without soldering? if only temporarily?.
