What you need

• Kester-951 Solder Pen
• PCB to assemble
• Electronic components
• Pliers
• Soldering iron

Steps

1. Open the pen capsule and ensure the tip is wet and ready for use.
2. Position the electronic component on the PCB at the soldering point.
3. Apply a small amount of flux to the solder joint using the pen.
4. Use the pliers to hold the component steady while soldering with the soldering iron.
5. Check that the solder joint is uniform and free of bubbles.
6. Repeat the process for all necessary soldering points.
7. Verify that all solder joints are solid and free of short circuits.
8. Allow the flux to dry completely before using the circuit.
