The right amount of solder

Soldering on Chip condenser has a difficulty with Shape B or D. Ideal fillet can be formed with Shape C and BC.

The right amount of solder Standard : The amount exhibiting a concave profile against the line from the land pad edge to lead edge.
Upper limit : Fillet formed against the straight line from the land pad edge to lead edge.
Lower limit : Fillet formed to reach the height of more than half of the chip.

Use Shape BC/C

This type has a shape like a cone or column cut at a slant, which allows users to select the cut surface size depending on the workpiece. It is used for drag soldering and pre-tinning of lead wires.

Use it for soldering chip part.

Put the cut surface to the land and drag the tip slowly while feeding solder.


Use Shape B

This shape is all-round type which can be used from any direction and is easy to hold at any position. It offers other recommended usages.

Use it for soldering chip part.

Use Shape D

This type has a shape like a flat-blade screwdriver and is capable of soldering by applying the tip in 2 ways: line and face. It is available for any works.

Use it for soldering chip part.

Put the tip end to the land and drag the tip slowly while feeding solder.
