Now, everyone knows about the tradition form of soldering, we know that soldering requires heat and electricity in order to melt a soft metal alloy to form a harder metal joint, but do we know that there is soldering these days called resistance soldering. We are going to learn about this type of soldering in this article and we are going to compare the differences between tradition soldering and resistance soldering.
Ok, so we have already gone through what traditional soldering is we also already know that the accessory that you need to use with soldering is a soft alloy metal. This metal can be lead based or flux based and can be bought any and everywhere soldering tools are sold, and in most hardware stores. You need to know that it is the tradition type of soldering that is used on circuit boards, like the one you have in your computer, TV, DVD player and even in your toaster.
Soldering Tool
There is no other types of soldering that can be used on circuit boards, and even with the traditional type of soldering, which has been used on circuit boards for a long time, you have to be really careful. This is because if you leave the iron on the metal joint for to long you run the risk of melting the inside of one or more of your components. This means that you will need the soldering joint to be as healthy as possible. You need to make sure that your soldering joint is not too old, because with age that piece of metal becomes harder and more resistant to heat as it has heat running over it all the time.
This means that you will want to replace that joint every now and again, but remember, you do not want to do it with resistance soldering and you will want to keep your unit wiring diagram with your at all times. So what is this type of soldering and why can you not use it on circuit boards you ask?
Resistive soldering is soldering that does not require you to plug your tool into a wall socket. The first thing that you will want to know is that it is powered by batteries, which means that if it used heat, that the heat would not be sufficient enough to melt even the softest alloy metal like soldering metal.
Resistive soldering sends an electrical current through the joint that needs to be melted or the wire that needs to be bound. The current that is sent through will heat up the material used and in turn that heat will melt whatever it is you are melting.
This means that you are not able to use this micro tool on a circuit board, because the current will blow out one or more of your components, but it does make a really great tool to make use of in the plumbing industry, because it is super portable and does not use any cords at all, and no plug in electricity is used either.
