Hi gang, This document on the Elecraft web site, http://bit.ly/solderingtips says, "[Soldering iron] tip width will normally be in the range of 1/32" (0.79mm) through 1/8" (3.2mm), depending upon the width of the pad to which you are soldering. The width of the tip selected should be about 75% to 90% of the width of the pad."
What would you estimate to be the median or modal (or just typical ;-) solder pad width on the K2's circuit boards? Or, to be more direct, which of the following soldering tip widths would be best for use in building a K2: 0.80 mm, 1.19 mm, 1.60 mm, or 2.40 mm? Or am I just splitting hairs? Thanks very much, 73 & 72, Jeff NE2J (formerly WB5GWB) ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
