Hand Soldering
Hand soldering is to connect two points. These points can be component or PCB layer or wire. Hand soldering melts a metal wire, called solder, and flows over the two points. Hand Soldering Iron is powered by electric power, which heats a rod, on tip of which the solder melts and helps to join. On cooling the points are together as solid. Soldering helps to connect electronic components to perform many functions.
