How to Use Flux When Soldering Electronics

How to Use Flux When Soldering Electronics

A comprehensive guide to using solder flux in electronics soldering. Soldering flux is used to clean and prepare the surfaces of the components that need to be joined. It helps to remove oxidation and other contaminants that can prevent a strong bond from forming. Flux also reduces surface tension, allowing the solder to flow more easily and improves the wetting of the components.
