Soldering

Soldering is a metal-to-metal joining procedure in which solder is melted and used to connect different types of metals. Solder is a tin and lead-based metal alloy that is melted with a hot iron. The iron is heated to above 600 degrees Fahrenheit and then cooled to form a strong electrical connection.

Basic Soldering

Three ways of Connecting Wire Together before Soldering

Straight Together
Twisted
Meshed (then twisted to later create a smaller solder).
