[Tom] doesn’t much like breadboarding. He prefers to wire up prototypes with perfboard and solder point-to-point with enameled magnet wire. That may sound troublesome to some of you, but [Tom ...

However, it's toxic and bad for the environment. Many solders contain a rosin core, which aids in cleaning the wires you're soldering and improves the integrity of the solder. To create a strong ...

The idea is to make soldering a one-handed task by combining the soldering iron and a solder wire feeder into one compact package. The solder feeder is very reminiscent of a filament extruder on a ...

Plus, it often felt like you needed three hands to hold both wires just right, while also holding the soldering iron. And, then you had to hit it with a heat gun to shrink the tubing, and cover up ...

This excludes the ultra-slim, pointy one that already comes pre-installed. Then, there's some solder wire to get you started, a box of flux paste to prepare your metal surface for soldering ...

Today we're going to look at those unsung heroes of our A/V world, the ones that hold it all together - the crimp and the solder joints. Crimping was invented by Amp Incorporated in 1941 as a ...

By applying heat and solder, you can fuse together conductive metal elements (such as wires) to create durable, permanent connections. Hobbyist soldering iron users might be interested in building ...

Yes, this is one hell of a name. But jokes aside, this compact unit is an all-in-one soldering whiz, feeding wire from within the gadget to the job site, freeing up your other hand. The makers ...

Under some circumstances, we may return several hours (…or several days… or several weeks…) later and find that the weight has gradually stretched the wire. To demonstrate creep behavior at room ...
