soldering via points

**joniba** · 07-03-2006,05:24 AM

I was interested in hearing how other people are soldering wires to the via points. I was taught to carefully scratch off the protective coating with a sharp, delicate knife. It works ok, but I was wondering if others use different techniques.

That's the best technique and only method. You can't just stick the wire in the hole and tape it.

i use the above method and then use some solder flux to coat the via.

I use a fibreglass pen for scratching the via, works great and then just solder carefully

no need to scrape of the laque just insert the point of your solder iron in the via and ad some solder the solder melt away the laque that simple

Thats the best method actually. Sratching the lacquer with a knife can damage the via and/or the trace if your not very careful. Not only that but the fibergalss pen does a way better job of exposing solderable copper.
