PCB Practice

I just want to help the beginners to sholder tracks on dot PCB. So I've decided to make one instructable in a simple way.

1)Small dot PCB.

2)Sholdering station.

3)Sholdering Lead.

Take one small dot PCB and with the help of a marker draw the above given pattern on it.

You can even draw parallel line if you feel difficulty with the above pattern.

Step 1: Sholder two dots as shown in the first picture.

Step 2: Join those two dots with some lead as shown in the second picture.

Step 3: Sholder all the dots as shown in third picture.

Step 4: Keep joining two consecutive dots as shown in fourth picture.

Step 5: Now join four dots.

Step 6: Now join all the four dots with next four dots and continue till the end of the line.

Step 7: You will get a track as shown in the last picture.

*Note* At starting you can use more lead , but as you keen on practicing use as less lead as possible. And also use moderate temperature. As I'm using basic sholdering kit I haven't mentioned above.

Now draw the next line. So that you will be getting a "L" shaped track.

Continue the pattern till you get a close track. Make sure that you don't join the last dots.

Start sholdering the internal tracks by following the previous steps.

Make sure that you don't join the adjacent track.

Keep practicing this pattern until you become an expert in sholdering tracks on dot PCB.

Thanks for watching my instructables.

Any queries feel free to ask.

Soon I will publish an instructable on how to sholder electronic component on dot PCB.
