which are the best smd welding techniques?

Good morning everyone, this is my first discussion, so be kind with me image

 

I'm starting to weld smd for a PCB in a formula student aplication, and the first approach was this:

This was welded with a basic JBC soldering station and smd tweezers, and with some patience and time the result was functional, but not professional.

 

What are your tips?

 

Thanks for your time.

    Hi Marti, A little more information would be useful- e.g. did you use lead free solder, rosin core solder or paste, iron temperature, flux, etc. what concerns you most about the results? Did you have bridging…

    Hi Marti,

     

    The first thing to keep in mind is that soldering is a skill that is perfected with repeated attempts.  Nobody starts as an expert.  I have been soldering (on and off) for more than 50 years, but I am still learning.  Equipment is changing, materials are changing and geometries are changing.  You need to find the right equipment and supplies and then use them will the proper techniques.

     

    Frank has offered some great advice and asked some great questions.  Watch videos, practice your skill and keep trying/learning.  While your first attempts look good, they will improve over time.

     

    Good luck.
