Knowledge Element: Electrical Soldering

Definition of Knowledge Element:

Know how to make a safe and electrically sound cable joint using soldering. Also understand the safety issues surrounding soldering.

A very brief summary of the Knowledge:

Soldering creates a good electrical connection by melting solder around the lead of a component and the copper part that it is to be connected to, or alternatively between two wires. It is important to heat the wires so that the solder will flow around them. Do not simply heat the solder.
