never thought I'd be watching a soldering video with such high production. I'm a surgeon, and I am impressed with the meticulous attention to detail here. Excellent job!
Geez, someone who actually knows how to teach. Thank you sir.
I love the presentation and the soft background music. It's like I'm watching surface-mount soldering with Bob Ross. :-D
Lots of happy caps, Hell let's be brave an stick a 20 watt resistor over the top for no reason .....
@Anson Lyric bad bot
At first i thought it was the GTA San Andreas theme really quiet in the background 😂
This video is a metaphor for life.
Clean up before you start.
Use the appropriate materials for the job, so you don't mess things up.
Do one thing at a time.
Put things away when you are done with them.
Be careful not to touch things that are extremely hot.
Sometimes high-end parts are used to record noise.
It doesn't have to be perfect.
Amen! My next video will be on how to write a philosophy book (just kidding).
I have been trying to touch things that are extremely hot since puberty
Thank you! I stopped using my skills after college in a job that was a mistake and am trying to get a job in automation and need to retrain my soldering skills.
The calm, concise nature of this video and tips were incredible for me and I really appreciate it. Some of the things you did here I didn't learn in college or at my job. I'm going to buy some good equipment and start practicing! going to look into more of your videos. I have some old electronics I can use to get better at desoldiering. I need to look into cheap supplies for SMT practice.
Thanks again.
As a tech from the late 80's to now, this video is a good value for the novice and production quality is on par ( I am a videographer as well ). Well done.
I just soldered smd voltage regulators for the first time as a test and decided I like them. Next pcb I'll add resistors and caps. I will make sure to clean the board first with alcohol. Great video, thanks for posting.
This was helpful, and your calming voice has soothed my worries about frying my first SMT board! Thanks.
This was perfect, great for beginners! Can’t thank you enough!
I knew I could trust you by the googly eyes
They make everything sound and work better!
Yeah
Hi
@@LeoMakes
I just subscribed.
Can I pay you to do a
small job on my PCB ?
I have a bios chip that needs to be removed and transferred to the other board.
The PCB is from a hard drive. Please let me know I'm willing to pay somebody if you want to know more info I can explain further thanks.

Hey there just wanted to say, fantastic channel. Keep up the good work.
I'm a budding engineer and love electronics. This was very interesting for a beginner
Thank you very much for posting this video, you've exposed the mystery of SMD components for me! 🙏
wow the demonstration - that is actually so cool to hear
Excellent presentation! Good tip about the thin solder
It’s like things are alive, I love it!
That is a cool little product.
Thanks for the info on hand soldering surface mount I'll have to go pick up a few smaller things for the fine soldering
This was absolutely incredible.
Thanks for the video. I just got my first surface-mount assembly job. I was trained 30+ years ago to do through-hole soldering. BOY! The component size difference is insane. My eyeballs are already freaking out.
Thanks for this video - right now i'm planning to go SMD with my projects and this was really helpful. Btw you got a new sub!
Actually gives me some confidence I might be able to fix the rather fragile output jack on my NTS-1! Thanks for making this video! 😃
Hey Man, thanks for this video. I now feel confident enough to order parts for a mutable instruments ripples:) Great work!
Great video! Clear speaking really helps us with bad hearing, Thank You!
Perfect soldiering techniques 🌹👍
you make it look so simple, ill give it a shot one day
This was a great demo!
Yep, soldering only a single SMD component value at a given time is a REALLY good tip! Thanks for the video, I think it helped me a lot!
Glad it helped!
You make it seems too easy! Thanks so much for the tutorial!
Thanks for the tips. Just ordered a sample resistor/capacitor book.
The fact that the Elektrosluch is stereo really makes it. So cool.
Totally! I did not expect the noises to be so directional but you can really hear it on headphones when you sweep the device around the room.
Absolutely love your content. Keep it up!
Love the googly eyes on the hose!
Awesome! Very easy to understand! Thanks, alotsssss
Thank You for the video. I have a 3D printer that my micro USB port came off of it's board and I need to solder it back on. The printer doesn't have a display like most do today and the only way to monitor it is through a computer plugged into the micro USB. This gave me the know-how on how to properly do it, instead of winging it.
Thank You,
Frank M.
Nice video. Thanks! I love the eyes on the extraction hose o.o. Great advice too about getting one thing out at a time. There's nothing worse than *stuff* all over the place when working. It takes the fun out of it.
It's amazing, it helped me a lot, thank you for sharing.
Thanks, Leo, this is a great and cool tutorial and practice about the SMT Soldering and applications devices to detecting the Noise of the electronics active component, but away the background music is cool
Huge fan! Amazing Channel!
Beautiful video. Thanks, I got a lot from this.
educational and devilishly satisfying
For being organized , thumbs up 👍🏻
Dear Leo , Thank you for nice presentation ...
Great tutorial 👽
Really great video with a ton of extra information baked in. I would've never thought about the beveled chip with the double lines; and wasn't expecting to learn that in this video. Good stuff!
All those sounds!!❤
Excellent job
Thanks. I managed to solder my very tiny component after straggling so much.
Very interesting video. I have done through hole soldering but never surface mount. Looks like you need great vision and a very steady hand, but not difficult.
Right tool for the job.. my iron tip and solder diameter was great for automotive work, but getting the thinner solder and the fine tip for the iron, that will help as I solder to micro switches and learn to work on smaller scale electrical. Thank you!
This is a nice and clean and good job, well done !
Great tutorial. I was worried surface soldering would be really hard but this looks very approachable!
After some practice its very easy
Great video! Very helpful. The nicest thing was hearing solder pronounced correctly!
Very great vlog
Always been intimidated by SMD, I thought you needed ovens and paste and masks and stuff. Thanks, my life is changed!
thanks much for this. Going to have to wait for .3mm solder to be delivered, but at least I'm no longer freaked out by surface mount soldering...
Great work
Very nice demonstration. I do production, mostly through hole but always a few sm op-amps. For those opamps I'll put a little noclean flux on the pads, a drop of solder on the iron tip, use tweezers to place the part then just touch the solder to the pad/leg interface and it just sucks it up. Don't use rosin flux as you can't get it clean under the chip. thanks.
Great video! I was wondering what temp the iron was on ?
Your work is really well done and you have a really steady hand, your planned approach is very smart and i am definitely getting one of those books. I have being soldering in the larger form for my whole career and part of my training included a little trick you might find useful. When you handle the solder it has a similar problem as finger grease on the PCB.
I get a piece of cloth, linen is perfect, wet it with isopropyl alcohol and run the solder gently through the folded cloth. You keep doing that till the black disappears. It make a difference, especially in surface mounted soldering. Perfect is for robots. Thanks for listening
Great tip-I’ll give that a go next time I have to solder something.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks, I will receive a fume extractor in few days and I can't wait to start to solder.
I got a first problem to solve, instead of releasing the fume in my house, I would prefer to evacuate the fume outside. So I need to find a way to achieve to make it more safety.
Thanks for your video
Leo I found your channel from this video was looking for videos to help me with soldering, I wasn’t really paying attention to what you were actually making until you were done when you turned it on I almost screamed, I am a sound designer and music producer doing all sorts of genres from pop to ambient but what ties it all together in my style is a very high influence from idm glitch experimental music, that thing sounds amazing!, oh and btw the project I am doing right now is a portable modded out turntable for playing ,using djimg and scratching, so seems like your right up my alley… cheers!
Portable modded turntable sounds very cool! I hope you'll post it somewhere (like CZcams) and let me know so I can see it!
Funny, came here for advice on smd quad flat pack soldering. I own the Original Electroslüch from LOM. Great guy, great device!!! I use it for locating RF Interference but also so much more both creative and useful.
Funny, I built it for sound design purposes but ended up using it for RF troubleshooting since a lab spectrum analyser was hopefully out of reach for me. It totally did the job!
Anyway, thanks for watching!
Watched this video for 3 min, then I'm well on the way to set for epic repair journey on my Minolta X-700 with Zero prior soldering skills :-D This video is great
Good luck with your repair-hope it goes great!
WOW!
VERY impressive, clear and well done tutorial!
Probably the best tutorial video that that I’ve ever watched.
So nicely done!
Thank You!!!
Thank you for the excellent video. Great production quality. Great getting started content. I guess not many people are into SMT or this would have way more likes and comments.
Thanks for the kind words! I'm hoping the video has been helpful to whoever has seen it. Plus it was fun to make.
Thanks! With your help I've finished my Pulses expansion for turing machine module (eurorack). I thought it's impossible for me.
Great gadget! That is the first time I saw soldering of SMD's that made it look very doable. Thanks for the demo.
Sir great information thanks.
Excellent teaching video, thank you very much !
:o)
Hey wait, I am Norwegian and i don't like to watch knitting, I really enjoyed this. Great tutorial.
thanks,nice and clean and HQ.thanks a lot.
First time viewer… insta-subscribe. Thanks for sharing! You have given me the confidence to attempt surface mounting, something I had been avoiding.
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
Great video. I once made a very low frequency radio that had an antenna a bit over a meter in diameter of 300 turns of wire. I was able to listen to my TV, the outdoor utility pole and a lightning storm coming in,
Frank Reiser M.S.
Fascinating! It never occurred to me that you can use this device (when properly tuned) to listen to a lightning storm. I associate this device with sounds from man made electronics but it’s interesting that nature can generate interesting sounds for it as well. Thanks for sharing this.
@@LeoMakes I am fascinated by the electromagnetic spectrum and radiation. I liked my VLF receiver because it was so far down the electromagnetic spectrum. Incidently, I have a Geiger counter and radioactive rocks. I have collected the Americium 241 from smoke detectors. They release an alpha particle and then a gamma ray.
Just his tone of voice and the way he speaks is like anti stress in itself
Great video! Thought it would be more complex, will definitely give it a try. Thanks!
Thanks for a nice guide. The thing you made might be great for foley (movie sound effects)
I would use some flux, and a little less solder. Excellent Video BTW!
I'm gonna start using alcohol to clean the pads.
Elektrosluch is very impressive! It opens a new sound's world to discovery!!! It's like dive into other dimensions!!! Thank you for the SMD soldering lesson!
Dude, thanks for this, much better than a lot of the guides I have seen. Very well done sir!
Put clear masking tape over the labels in that sample book when they are new. I have two and with both, the stickers deteriorated and tried to fall off within a matter of months. I live in Thailand which is very humid but expect this would happen anywhere. Great video
Keep the good work 👨👨👨
This is awesome. Just jumping into audio and soldering and the two together as well. Love this.
Great Surface Mount soldering lesson. Thanks!
that was such a useful macro view thanks. I was just wondering if there was a specific temperature of the iron I should be using when doing surface mount parts.
A good tip after a long time of soldering:
For small SMD components, I find it best to use solder paste with a stencil (you can get a stencil very cheap and quickly produced at many locations). Then place the components in place, and use either a hot air gun (more difficult) or a heating plate (easiest option)
My soldering life and PCB assembly really changed after getting a heating plate. cut down the assembly time considerably.
thanks, that is useful
very cool ,, ) thanx for the help getting started... Joe
Just destroyed a pcb with my suprt bad surface mount soldering skills. Now I'm here :DD
Nice Video! This is exactly what I have been searching for. What type of Solder Guns do you recommend for someone getting started for this kind of work?
Thanks for sharing... 😀
2:43 Absolutely!!! Things always go missing
Thanks!
Wonderful video, Leo. Thanks. I'm wondering about flux--thoughts? The tip about beveled pads to indicate pin 1 was terrific! This video will make all of us software guys finally holding a soldering iron much less dangerous 🙂
I get this question about flux a lot. I should probably make a video but the short version is that extra flux is not necessary when soldering a fresh PCB with a new part. That’s because virtually all electronics solders have a bit of flux in them. That tiny amount is enough to make a good connection. More flux doesn’t hurt but it’s not really necessary.
If you were doing re-work on a board, that’s a whole other story. Then I’d put down a good bit of flux while removing the part or cleaning up a pad so that I can put down a fresh part.
Hope this clarifies.
Great video! Could it be used as a non contact audio or rf probe specifically in troubleshooting audio gear such as tube amps or old tube radios? Thanks again.
Thanks for the tips, wish me luck! Attempting to remove, reprogram and resolder a soic8 chip on a $3000 ecu because Lexus had a brain fart when designing their immobilizer systems!
Yikes! Hope you’re successful at your repair. Good luck!
@@LeoMakes I did it last night! All is well, reprogrammed fine and managed to get the car to accept new keys! 16 months it's been sitting and I can drive it again!
Nice one! Congrats!
Best video I’ve seen. What temp do you have the iron. I also see you don’t use flux. Any reason? Thanks
Thanks bro, I’m 400th comment. Congratulations 🍾🎊🎉🎈
amazing
Thanks for the great tutorial on SMT. After many years working on Heathkits (sure you're too young for that) looking to solder my first SMT kit and it seemed a bit daunting. You made it seem possible. Thanks!
I have definitely heard of Heathkits but I never had the pleasure of working on one myself. Best of luck with your SMT kit!
Hi Leomakes - excellent video on soldering SMD.. can you share what type of solder you used and the temperature setting for the iron for that solder?
