materials

• Solder is a low-melting alloy, especially one based on lead and tin or (for higher temperatures) on brass or silver, used for joining less fusible metals.
• Lead-based solder has the most common mixture is a 60/40 (tin/lead) blend with a melting point around 180-190°C.
• Lead-free solder generally has a higher melting point than conventional solder.
• Solder paste is a combination of powder made up of metal solder particles and sticky flux that has the consistency of putty.
• A wire is a flexible metallic conductor, especially one made of copper, usually insulated, and used to carry electric current in a circuit.
• There are two types of wires: Standard wire (ung maraming maliliit n wire) and Solid Wire (Ung isang makapal n wire lng).
• Alligator clips, which consist of two spring metal clips connected by wire, are actually just fancy jumper wires!
• Copper Clad Laminate (CCL) is a very important basic material for printed circuit boards.
• Printed Circuit Board (PCB) is the foundational building block of most modern electronic devices.
• A printed circuit board is used to mechanically support and electrically connect electronic components using conductive pathways, tracks or signal traces etched from copper sheets laminated onto a non-conductive.
• Etching Solution is a solution used to remove the copper layer of a PCB or a process of using a strong acid solution or mordant to cut into the unprotected parts of a metal surface to create a design.
• Electrical Tapes is a type of pressure-sensitive tape used to insulate electrical wires and other materials that conduct electricity.
• Desoldering Braid or Solder Wick is a “wick” is a pre-fluxed copper braid that is used to remove solder, which allows components to be replaced and excess solder (e.g bridging) to be removed.
