Cheap DIY SD card breadboard socket

Step 6 Attach final header row

Here we get to the final part. You may choose to do vertical or right angle at this point. The only difference in in how you solder the last row on. I guess you could do some odd angle as well if you wanted.

Hold the last row exactly where you want it. Using the soldering iron, touch the tinned leads and the small amount of solder already there should hold the 2 pieces together. Finish all the other joints using more solder, and then add some solder to the first joint. Add a little more solder than necessary to ensure a strong bond, but not so much as to make a ball. These are partially structural, but you probably shouldn't be using this for anything that endures much force either.

You can remove the hot glue or whatever you used. The solder is holding the parts together just fine. It was only temporary anyways.

I would recommenced getting a third hand tool. They are fairly cheap and very useful for things like this and where you need to hold something and not get burnt by it...
