[Elecraft] Solder....again.....

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Keep your time with the iron on the joint down to 2 or 3 seconds and you
don't need to worry about putting heat sinks on components, Ron. With =
modern
boards and components like you have in the Elecraft kits, that's more =
than
enough to make a great solder joint.

I can remember keeping a tray of clips to put on leads so transistors =
would
survive the solder experience too <G>.

It is important to use an iron that doesn't get too hot, too, which is =
why
the TC irons are so strongly recommended.

.. Seriously.....Please forgive me for being away from electronics
since....too long.... Are we not using heat sinks when soldering =
components
now? It has been agreed that the temperature controlled iron is all that =
is
needed?=20
