antyac2108 Posted July 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 What is the highest tempatures the board can handle from soldering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VapingBad Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Probably more the time the iron is on the joint than out and out temp, use a good powerful temp controlled iron and set the temp to what works well with the solder and wire you are using.

antyac2108 Posted July 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 I have a temp control iron but it's old and I'm using 60/40 wire.I just don't want to hurt this board and I'm using 14 gauge wire so I have to hold it on there too get it to flow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VapingBad Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Tin the wire first and get it hot/wet just above the pad then push it on to the pad with the iron and feed a little fresh solder and you can get it on quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lolerwaffles Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 I always solder temperature sensitive items with as chunky of a tip as will fit in the space I am soldering, and my iron all the way up to 480. Hot and fast, so the solder points heat up fast instead of the rest of the item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
