  Soldering is the first thing you need to do
learn how to be a beginner hardware worker.  To many
it seems that this operation is simple, and
therefore they treat her without due "respect"
nia" (this also appliesto some experienced
"iron workers"). Why are they punished?
- most often the products do not work well, a
Sometimes they don't work at all.            
                                         
  Therefore, you need to adhere to the following
rules:                                  
  1. The soldering iron tip should be exactly
chiseled and coated with a thin light layer
solder.  Scale and cavities on the tip are not
will only increase soldering time, but will also worsen
its quality.                             
  2. Solder should melt with heat.

the solder is melted with a soldering iron and then
is transferred on the tip to the junction.  
  3. Do not artificially cool the place

  4. When installing circuits, do not use flux
themselves containing acid. They destroy
soldering place.                             
  5. Before installing into the circuit, irradiate
all used element pins.        
  6. Duration of soldering one terminal per
loop conductor device or integrated
circuit should not exceed 5 seconds.         
  7. Pinout of the integrated circuit
on the board should be carried out in a checkerboard pattern
in a row.8. The connection point of the elements should
remain motionless until complete completion
