Welcome to the world of electronics. One of the essentials in electronics is knowing how to solder. Learning this skill will allow you to build things that you may not even completely understand. And you may even end up building something that may amaze you. So let us get started…
Simply put, soldering is a process of connecting any two pieces of electronic components together. It is very simple. First, we just put the two components together. And then instead of using any glue, we melt an alloy (which itself is a mixture of two metals) at the point where the two component overlap each other.
Getting confused? Don’t worry!
We have a comic for you to understand the process of soldering. Read on…
