Basic soldering is a skill that's easy to learn and not hard to master. It just takes practice!

There is a huge range of soldered situations out there, from tiny chip resistors on circuit boards to large UHF connectors.

There is also a large variety of irons, tips, and solder to choose from, and it certainly does help to have the right tool for the job.

Surface - mount technology (SMT) is a method for producing electronic circuits in which the components are mounted or placed directly onto the surface of printed circuit boards (PCBs).

An electronic device so made is called a surface-mount device (SMD). In the industry, it has largely replaced the through-hole technology construction method of fitting components with wire leads into holes in the circuit board

SMT is smaller, faster, cheaper

In this Course, you will learn everything about SMT, THT and soldering.
