Using Perfboard | Soldering Basics | Soldering for Beginners

The description of this video has links to some playlists I've made for Basic Soldering. I also added some links to help you find items that are similar to what I'm using in this video.

Short, clear, and to the point! Thank you for the video :)

TQM. Today, after a year and a half of design, tests and coding, I'm gonna solder my prototype design of a CubeSat :)

Hi there, thanks for the video, I am really new to this, are you using lead-less solder? or is it the regular one? Thanks!

Very useful video, thank you

Great video thanks. TBH Ive tried but get lost if I have too many components on the board to solder at one go Plus planning where they should be in the first place.

Hi. Can you buy individual Breadboard style sockets that can be soldered onto a printed circuitboard? (I have a printed circuitboard that I will solder most components to, but I'd like to leave certain components solderless so I can swap them for different values.) Thanks.

It is called veroboard

Very useful , thanks

If you don't make a lot of PCBs, getting the etching chemicals and equipment can be quite expensive. This is a far cheaper way to do it for the occasional hobby project. Also, great to see several different approaches for different circumstances.

What is the best temperature to use?

great vid!

Great tips on bridging. Letting things cool is the best part of that tip. Thanks.

Hello, I really enjoyed your videos, and I would like to ask for your permission to translate and repost your videos on the Chinese video platform Bilibili. I will make sure to credit you as the original creator and include the original video link. May I have your consent for this?

Me vibing on the bgm

What is the best way to connect 3 cables on a board? For example, when power needs to be split.
Also, how to prevent solder from draining through the hole? I tried to make a path between 2 holes but solder balls just stay isolated and in the end all the solder sips through the hole and creates mess on the back side. Can it be wrong temperature or wrong solder?

So if a layout shows a piece going from one point to another, and I use a wire, I can just solder both ends right?

Is possible to fix burnt hole? and how to have diagonal path without using wire?

Thank you

This helped me very much. Couldn't find another video that showed clearly why and how to make the pcb connections.

Hello! These videos are absolutely brilliant, thank you!
Just wondering, do you have any tips on soldering to a perfboard when the connections are right next to each other? don't want to short anything!

I don't think the building up and trying to drag across technique is very good. Use the leads and some little peices of wire.

Here for the explanation on how to make a clean line of solder. Not disappointed. Good job.

Thanks

i'm using the second way and my opamp pin ic isn't get the right bias voltage
then i use the first way with the leads

What kind of wire are you using on the back to make connections? (the rigid wire)

Okay, so I just need to let it cool longer. Thanks!

Very straight and to the point. Great video, appreciate you.

Thank you!

Thanks for this soldering series. I've been watching some electronics repair videos and decided I want to give it a shot, but needed this kind of dead-beginner info. Thank you for making these short and with no useless preamble. Good stuff.

Use pre-tinned copper wire rather than plain, it's much easier to solder.

Thanks! Excellent video, right to the point. No irrelevant stuff or lengthy talk. Subscribed.

Thanks for this. This is exactly what I needed to know with minimal faffing around.

Use lower temp while bridging.

Thank you so much

Good video, tells me everything I need to know for soldering a project

Thanks it helped alot

I use bits of component leads for jumper wires in a pinch.

Quick and painless and very clueful. I've seen much longer videos that are not as helpful. This is what I wanted (except for the techno background). Thanks.

Excellent. I am having trouble bridging connections. This is helpful

I seem to be having a tough time even with straight solder runs. It’s much like the part of the video where you struggled a little with a right angle. Maybe it’s partly the temp? I’m using around 270 deg C, should I be hotter? Specially when I’ve got solder runs right next to each other. Frustrating!

I really needed this before I built a battery charger on one of those. I burned the crap out of it, but it still works after 20 years.

Great info on solder bridges! Thanks

Getting the blobs to line up is a BITCH

Nice video. I've never used perf board before, so I was wondering how to do that.

how can you remove the soldering if you make a mistake

You explained more in 3 minutes and 24 seconds then I've seen in 30+ minute videos! Thanks!

Great video, thanks. Taught me a lot 👍

Thanks for making this video.

Thank you! Help me a lot! Many blessings!
