Hi Max,
I think you've set yourself at a bit of a disadvantage without
realizing it. The easier way to go would have been to buy diodes with
leads rather than surface mount. You may want to return them (if the
vendor allows that) or write them off and order some with leads.
I've never done
Aha! Thanks Mike. Who wouldda thunk that a CS group would be the place to
find out stuff like this? It would never have occurred to me to go looking
for instructions on how to solder, because of course, it's obvious, isn't
it? Except it is not obvious, I now find.
I had a charming antique
Thank you for the detailed basics on soldering. I was not even aware that I
wasn't getting a nice 2 wire thing with a nice long lead. They sure don't cost
much, I may just buy those easy ones and practice on the short lead diodes.
And I'll check out the specs on the 3-lead diodes too.

Hi Max,
Here are the ones with the leads on them that I got.

Thanks Wayne. My previous practices though not numerous were frustratingly
poor quality and they were nothing like this in difficulty. How about
conductive epoxy solder? I went looking for some around town and did not find
any, but I know it exists. Would that be a good alternative? Any
I finally purchased a couple current limiting diodes. Excited. They came, I was
ready to go further down this road to get to a better CS. Less waste, more
consistent, clear, small particle, less operator error with an auto braking
chip, making more volume, kicking some very bothersome and
I got some of those to I out them on a circuit board , esier to
solder. You shoulda got the diodes with leads on then, second time
around I got those and they are real easy only have two wires instead
of three also, look like a regular diodes with long leads

Evening Maza,
I honestly am not sure if I can join these things without a
meltdown. of this little black box. Any soldering tips?
The proper wattage soldering iron, the right tip, and the proper
gage solder is the first step.
After that, practice good mechanics and watch for dirty or
