Cheap DIY SD card breadboard socket

Step 5 Prep for soldering

If you have only two hands like me, you will want to make it easy to hold everything at the same time. I find that if I tin the leads, I can make a small solder joint to hold the pieces together the way I want without using one of my hands. I need to hold solder and an iron also. Tin the leads of the final row of header in addition to the double row that is the socket.
