Soldering Tools
The only tools that are essential to solder are a soldering
1. Wattage
2. adjustable or fixed temperature
3. power source (electric or gas)
4. portable or bench use
Wattage
It is important to realise that higher wattage does not
Temperature
There are a lot of cheap, low watt irons with no
Power Source
Most soldering irons are mains powered - either 110/230v
Portability
Most cheaper soldering irons will need to plug into the mains.
Solder Lead
The most commonly used type of solder is rosin core. The
Screwdriver
Most electronic work is relatively small, so you don't
Pliers
User will occasionally use standard flat-nosed pliers, but
for most electronic work, the user will depend on needlenose pliers instead, which are especially adept at working
with wires bending and twisting them, pushing them
through holes, and so on. Most needle-nose pliers also
have a cutting edge that lets user to use them as wire
cutters.
Wire Cutters
Although user can use needle-nose pliers to cut wire, the
Wire Strippers
Try removing the insulation from two pieces of wire one
with wire cutters and the other with wire strippers. Most
likely the user will notice the crimping on the one stripped
with wire cutters, but not the one stripped with wire
strippers. That crimp has created a weak spot in the wire
that may eventually break.
Multimeter
A multimeter is an instrument used to check for AC or DC
Note :
The descriptions and pictures that follow are specific to
the Fluke 73 Series III Multimeter, but other multimeters
are similar.
Safety Information
Be sure the test leads and rotary switch are in the correct
input jack and earth ground (600 V for the Fluke 73).
Be careful when working with voltages above 60 V DC or
30 V AC rms. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
Keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the test
probes when making measurements.
To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible
electric shock or personal injury, replace the battery as
soon as the battery indicator appears.

use the 10 A

sure that the
current is less
than 300 mA.
