pre tinning make it easier to solder wire because the solder is already " stuck" to the wire. and less solder will be needed to join the wire. if you watch the solder under a magnifier while tinning, you will notice the solder does not flow and "stick" until proper heat and flux ar applied. this heat usually is more than required to melt the solder because it takes mor heat to heat up the wire due to higher density. after tinning, less heat is required to melt the solder, and enough flux is usually left from tinning to quickly join the wire to the desired material provided the material is also tinned. this reduces cold solder and provides for a more relible connection. To tin the wire first is to cover the end of the wire with a layer of solder before you put it thru the hole in the PCB that will give you insurance of a proper electrical contact else you will put a heap of solder on the PCB without a proper contact with the wire itself what is called a dry joint that go for un tinted copper wire only normally all electronic component pins is factory tinted

What equipments are there in soldering?

There is a lot of equipment in Soldering and I am telling you about which I know. Soldering Iron You can’t do soldering without a soldering iron/gun. But you don’t have to buy an expensive soldering iron/gun. You can find soldering irons in less than $10 that would work for most beginners’ needs. Wire Cutter The wire cutter is a very handy little soldering tool. We mostly use it to cut long component legs, or to strip the end of a wire. Wire Cutters is also known as flush-cutters, diagonal cutters, electronic snippers, clippers, etc. Wet Sponge A wet sponge is very useful for cleaning the tip of the soldering iron. The tip is hot which means it will oxidize very fast and get dirty. A clean tip transfers heat faster and makes your soldering easier. A sponge is so cheap anyway, so you should always keep one together with your other soldering tools. Soldering Stand A soldering iron gets hot after performing soldering, so it’s important to place it in a safe way in between soldering. A soldering iron stand is very useful for this. Since it takes up a lot of space, I don’t bring mine when travelling, but I always have one at my desk in Illinois. Safety Glasses A pair of safety glasses is something I really recommend when you do soldering. The consequences of getting hot soldering splashed into your eye can be terrible. So, please use them. Tweezers Tweezers are great. You can use them to keep components in their place and to avoid burning your fingers when you do soldering. If you ever solder surface mount components, these are very useful for placing small components. Solder wick The solder wick is another tool for removing solder. It’s made up of copper threads that will absorb the solder from the solder joint. For example to remove “solder bridges” between pins on a chip or if there’s a bit of solder left on a bigger solder joint.

Why should some form of heat sink be used when soldering a rectifier in place?

The rectifier, actually any semiconductor, is heat sensitive. You must use a low wattage soldering iron and a heat sink, such as a pair of pliers clamped around the wire between the connection and the diode, to dissipate the heat. You must also make the connection as quickly as possible.

Strip the wire to desired length. Then hold the wire horizontally and hold the soldering iron underneath the stripped part while holding the solder on the top of the wire. When the wire gets hot enough it will suck the solder into the wire

How do you fix a broken wire?

The repair of a broken wire will depend on where the break is. If the wire cannot be replaced then it will have to be spliced together, preferably by soldering. The wire joint then needs to be sealed with a waterproof coating.

How to Wire Money?

If you are looking to wire money, you may find it to be sort of mystifying at first if you don't know exactly where to go or what to do. In the event that you do need to wire money, there are a few things to keep in mind before you ever step foot out the door. First, you need to know how much you want to send, and whether the company performing the wire will wire that much. For example, there are a few international names in the wire transfer business that will not wire more than five thousand dollars at once. If you need to wire more than this, you will need to wire the maximum they will allow at one location, then go to another location to wire the rest.
