Soldering Iron
It is a hand tool used in soldering. It supplies heat to melt solder so that it can flow into the joint between two workpieces. Solder is a metal alloy that creates a strong electrical bond between the parts upon cooling.
A soldering iron is composed of a heated metal tip and an insulated handle. Heating is often achieved electrically, by passing an electric current through a resistive heating element. The tip typically heats up to 330ºC - 350ºC
Soldering irons are most often used for installation, repairs, and limited production work in low volume electronics assembly.
Soldering Station
A soldering station is an electronic tool for hand soldering electronic components. It consists of a station or a unit to control temperature and a soldering iron that can be attached to the station unit. Most soldering stations have temperature control. The station will typically have a stand for the hot iron when not in use, and a wet sponge for cleaning.
Solder
Solder is a metal alloy used to create a permanent bond between metal work pieces It is an alloy of tin and lead The melting point of most solder is around 188 º.
Solder Paste
It is a material used to connect the components on the PCB It is a mixture of flux and solder balls which has a very smooth consistency preventing any oxide from forming in the solder material that'll make the solder brittle
General Purpose PCB Boards
General-purpose PCB boards are widely used in making circuits. Its layer is coated with copper or aluminium and allows proper soldering without any short circuit.
