[👇HOW TO IDENTIFY COMMON THT SOLDERING MISTAKES👇] To achieve a perfect THT solder joint takes a lot of practice, one of the first steps toward this goal is learning how to identify common mistakes that can lead to a poor joint: ❌ THT COMMON MISTAKES: · Too little solder – This can result in a weak joint that may break or lose electrical contact. · Too much solder applied too quickly – This can lead to a bubble-shaped solder joint, which often means the solder did not properly bond with the pad or the component lead. · Leaving the iron on too long – This can overheat the pad or component, potentially causing a bad joint or lifting the pad from the PCB. · Unintentional solder dragging – Accidental movement of the soldering iron can connect two adjacent pins, resulting in a short circuit. ✅ THT GOOD QUALITY SOLDERING STEPS: 1. Pre-tin the tip of your soldering iron to ensure good heat transfer. 2. Preheat the joint by touching the iron to both the pad and the pin for 1–2 seconds. 3. Apply solder steadily to the heated joint, not directly to the iron. 4. Stop and observe, as a good joint should have a smooth, shiny meniscus shape that covers both the pin and the pad.
