Solderless breadboards

Perfboards or Protoboards less flexible

Solderless Breadboards
The term breadboard originated in
the early days of radio, when many
experimenters actually built circuits
on the wooden boards used in their
mother’s kitchen for rolling out
bread dough.

Soldering
Soldering: Fastening metal objects using molten
metal (solder) as the glue.
Three requirements:
1. Low melting point metal (wire solder)
2. Heat source (soldering iron)
3. Flux (to prevent surfaces from oxidizing)
15
Types of Solder
Tin-Lead solders
60% Tin, 40% Lead - solid at 361° F, liquid at 374° F
63% Tin, 37% Lead - eutectic point is 361° F
no “pasty” range so joint movement less a problem
Silver-bearing Solder
62% Tin, 36% Lead, 2% Silver - solid at 354 ° F,
liquid at 372 F
often used for surface mount components whose
contacts contain trace amounts of silver
16
Soldering Irons
Constant wattage
Iron is continuously “ON” and eventually reaches
equilibrium temperature
20 to 25 watt iron sufficient for circuit board
assembly
Constant temperature
Tip incorporates a thermostatic element to
maintain desired tip temperature
Weller® 30 watt iron
650 – 750° F appropriate for circuit board
assembly

Soldering Irons

Flux-core solder
Most solder used for electronics
assembly is in wire form, with the
flux incorporated inside the solder.
19
Soldering a Component
Use a lead bending jig, if available, to form the
component leads to the correct spacing
20
Soldering a Component
Insert the component’s leads through
the holes in the circuit board. The body
should lie flat against the board without
having to force it down.
21
Soldering a Component
QT Movie Clip Clean the iron tip by wiping on a damp
sponge. Tin the tip by applying solder,
then wipe again.
22
Soldering a Component
Use a pair of flush-cutting wire cutters to cut off the
excess lead length as close to the board as possible.
Hold the lead so will not fly away when cut, a
possible occasion for eye injury.
!! WEAR SAFETY GLASSES !!

FM Transmitter Project
• Electromagnetic radiation: The motion of
packets of energy called photons
• Speed = Wavelength × Frequency
• Speed of light 300 million meters/second
Wavelength is measured in meters
Frequency is measured in Hertz (sec–1)
25
FM Transmitter Project
Examples:
• 100.7 FM, Wavelength = 3×108 / 100.7×106 =
2.98 meters
• 1100 AM, Wavelength = 3×108 / 1100×103 =
273 meters
