How to solder an IC or IC socket on a Printed Circuit Board or PCB

- This is a video demonstration on how to solder an IC or IC socket on a printed circuit board or PCB. For this demonstration a doubled sided printed circuit board with plate through holes is used. This type of PCB is very common in the consumer electronic market. The techniques shown can be applied to new pcb's for kits or for the repair of a pcb. The tutorial is well suited for the electronic / electrical technician, technologist, engineer, trades person, or home hobbyist that has no experience with electronic proto-typing. This video would be especially useful for the person assembling an electronic kit for the first time. Please watch the additional videos using the DMM, other test equipment, and on soldering techniques.

Just soldered a 555 timer chip to a circuit board. Dialed in the temp to 650 degree... looks like a pro did it. I've been doing audio soldering for most of my life, but just needed a little coaching to solder a 555 timer chip. Did it exactly like you recommended, and it went smooth.
Excellent tutorial! Thank you. Probably the best I've seen on this topic. Shown and explained very well.
Thanks for the tutorial. It was very clear and well explained.
Excellent tutorial, thank you!!
finally !! a best tutorial yet on how to solder double sided pcb thank you so much sir you are a life saver :)
Thank you. Im just starting to get into soldering and my very first attempt was successful because of this video.
Great video, cheers!
very clear explanations! thanks!
Very very good video. Thank you very much.
Many thanks. This was clear and concise.
Also, normally The text printed on the IC is left to right with respect to the #1 pin. This is not a hard fast rule but it is true for at least 95% of the time.
One thing I do differently is I never bend the leads. I put the part or socket in the board and while holding it I apply solder to two opposite corner pins. Then while heating pins I push the IC down flat. I then solder the remaining pins. This makes removal of the part later much easier. this should be done with other parts as well.
nice video, well explained
yes, very very nice your explanation sir, thank you!
thank you for teaching me
very nice video sir, thanks
Thank you!
Thank you very informative
thank you
Bravo Perfect Work i make the same
Thank you…
Couple questions. Should we use a Flux pen even if the solder contains Flux?
Are there any other types of solder that work well on these types of ics? I have some 63 37 and some other solder with 2% silver or something?
Thank u sir
please make more electronic project! not stop....RUN RUN RUN
Could you comment on the size of solder you use (specifically the diameter of the solder wire)? The kind I bought at home depot seems to be far too wide/thick. Thus, it's difficult to make joints that don't touch each other.
Very thanks _ Sri lanka
What type of iron do you use? What size tips do you recommend? What about external flux? What type of magnifier do you use or do you use one of the new USB camera types? Do you have a video about de-soldering and replacing with a socket like what's needed in many old computers? Sorry for the glut of questions and thanks for your time!
Tip size depending on what you are soldering
Rosin core solder is all you need
Desk lamp with 4.5x magnifier
You could use a USB microscope
I think I have a de-soldering video. All you need is a solder sucker or solder pull and de-soldering wick (copper braid), 99% pure alcohol and a small brush
@@1929fordhotrod Thanking you very much!
Great video John! Where do you buy your printed circuit boards? Do you get them locally or online?
You can get printed circuit boards (pcb's) made at www.apcircuits.com/ . Great service there and will not steal the design. This is great for larger quantities. If you want to do one of designs then a low cost cnc router would work from a file created in the pcb design software. Another option would be to purchase a home etching kit www.jameco.com/z/PROTOTYPE-KIT-Circuit-Skills-1-Circuit-Board-Etching-Kit_2113244.html and make a simple etching tank. You can also purchase chemical from abra-electronics.com/chemicals/etching-and-circuit-board-development/
I find that rubbing alcohol doesn't clean very well without a lot of brushing. If you use safety solvent, sold at most hardware stores, it cleans much easier.
Although available as a separate product, there is water-soluble flux. I haven't found solder containing water-soluble flux however. This would be nice since water is cheap, non-flammable, readily available and environmentally friendly. I have some experience with water-soluble flux in soldering copper plumbing pipes (don't use plumber's solder for electronics) and my experience is that it is NOT as good--more difficult to work with. (Regardless of this disadvantage in plumbing, it is preferred because plumbing solder is corrosive and if not water soluble, will stay in place and corrode the pipe. If water soluble, it will simply flush away, of course.)
Awesome explanation. How can i solder socket pins on both side of pcb?
Only if the pcb doesn't have plate through holes
1929fordhotrod I found sockets with long legs so now i can solder traces on both sides of pcb
As I am beginner I am asking you this question for my education. I recently soldered, due to an oversight, an IC AT89C2051on a digital clock on the reverse side and supplied power. Then I removed it and soldered on to PCB on the correct side, but the clock didn't work. Is there a possibility of damage on the IC due to this mistake? Should I get a new IC? Please help. Thank you.
It certainly sounds like the IC is defective.
Will this video work on boards with no thru hole plateing as I need to solder some pins of a 4o pin ic on top and the rest on the bottom of a dual side brd produced at home?
If the pcb does not have plate through holes you will need to solder also on the component of the pcb. This is normal for pcb's produced at home.
Very well produced videos. Like your car job also.
Thanks. I intend to do many more videos on basic electronic, test procedures, wiring cars etc. I just need to fine the time.
Right, I know all about lack of time. Good luck.
would it be a problem to solder it to the board without the socket?
Not at all but the socket does make it easier to replace the IC if needed.
1929fordhotrod thanks
'
rather better solder is already print on the PCB that much easily on kit
Great tutorial, many thanks.
