A Prime Example

Postby redrue » Wed Dec 20, 2006 11:43 pm

I've done a search and can't find any good pictures
of the SOLDER side of a fully stuffed PCB.

Before I get started on one of these it would be nice
to have a good quality, up-close shot of an exemplary
solder job. Perhaps a shot of the solder side of one
assembled by SCA as well.

Any pics will be most helpful!

Thanks... those are both helpful links.

One thing I realized today after getting the
right kind of solder (63/37) is that the other
stuff doesn't flow like the eutectic. They're
completely different animals... So if you, like
me, went and got some 60/40 solder at Radio
Shack and were practicing your soldering skills
with it... relax, it's much easier with the 63/37! MUCH.
