4.6 Soldering Wire Bridges to a Point Grid - Version 2

The PCBs included in the learning package are coated on one side, like in most soldering

kits. The components are pushed through from the bottom. Only the long connection

wires of the components or the ends of the wire bridges will point out of the lands then.

This makes soldering easier because you no longer need to ensure that the hot soldering

iron does not touch any adjacent components that are already soldered in and damage

them. This does not mean, however, that you can take more time soldering now. The

component or wire bridge and the land heat up just as quickly in both soldering meth-

ods.

Since you push through the wire bridge from below now, you need to prevent it from

falling out again. This can be done by bending the two connection wires slightly to the

side right above the lands. Then the wire bridge remains in position and can be soldered

well.

soldering, bend the connection wires slightly to the side.
