5V breadboard mini PSU

Step 3 Solder

when you have figured out a way to squeeze your components together, it's time to solder.

Check the pictures to see how I did it.

i have to take soldering lessons from u seriously my soldering sucks so much. i burn half of my projects.

Tip: Dont use an arc welder.     :D

you are most likely not using the right watt for the project you are own... sometimes it is better to use higher watt irons because they allow you to work more quickly... although your project's sensitivity will depend on the proximity to heat sensitive circuits... a good soldering station might be worth the investment so that you can play with many wattages and figure out which one is correct for the type of work you will be doing...

How did you solder the 2 pins (for in the breadboard) on the board without using wires?

P.S.: nice soldering!

good project,i need 12v dc 1000amp

[thirtyfivefox]

lol you trying to liquefy flesh?

[terrapinlogo]

I think you mean 1000milliamp 1000 amps is 100 times what most household outlets put out

[ReCreate]

so outlets are like 10 amps?

[terrapinlogo]

yea most household outlets are 10 amps but there are some that are occasionally 15 amps

[TheDeviant13]

my shed had 3 20 amp 3 prong outlets and one 100 amp outlet for an AC arc welder

[terrapinlogo]

ok i havent seen a 20 amp outlet personally but that doesnt mean they dont exist and the 100 amp outlet is proabaly 3 phase

[ReCreate]

interesting...

how did you solder like that? whenever i do it, the solder all clumps together onto one pad.

[KT Gadget]

 Usually when you bridge solder two joints, you ball up both pins, then get a little solder on the iron and start applying between the points. If there is enough solder on the iron or the 2 pins or all 3, then the bridge will automatically join together. But do it quickly because you do not want to burn the electronics. If it does not work the first time, add a little more solder until they join.

ok, well i figured it out anyway. thanks. i like this way of soldering, even though it uses a lot of solder.

[thirtyfivefox]

try using flux in addition to the flux your solder might bear in soldering... works wonders...

 Nice PSU. Could you put the switch on the Vout of the 7805 instead?

[Adam Manick]

Why would you do that you would have wast battery because it would always be on when the battery is in?

[acedolcholine]

That is some beautiful soldering!
