solder, or do you clean off the old solder and start fresh? Thrifty

** Wicking ( or using a de-soldering gun) to get the old solder off is
needed to look at the component leads or pins before re-soldering
If the lead looks shiny and tinned all over - fine.
If the lead looks dark and dry of solder - not fine.
Also, there is now the issue of mixing dissimilar solders - ie leaded and
unleaded.
I use Multicore "Savbit" solder for all repairs as it will not absorb
copper, has higher than usual strength and a very good flux core.

I think "it depends".
There may be some advantages to clearing off the old solder and
replacing it entirely. Two possible such:
(1) Some years ago I had a problem with an audio amplifier...
intermittent solder joints. The manufacturer informed me that
their contract assembly house had "use the wrong solder" in the
wave-solder machine, and that this had resulted in a poor joint on
the transistor connections. I'm not sure whether it was a poor
bond due to the alloy used, or whether there was a difference in
thermal expansion rates which caused the joint to suffer more
stress due to power-on-heat/power-off-cold cycling.
The manufactuer specifically recommended that I strip out the old
solder and replace it.
(2) In some cases, the problem with a bad solder joint might be due to
the contact materials being soldered - oxidation, other
contamination, or an alloy which didn't "wet" well with the
solder/flus combination originally used.
In this case, stripping off the old solder, perhaps cleaning or
lightly scraping the metal, applying some proper flux to the
metal, and re-soldering would give you the best chance of a good
solder bond. Simply re-flowing the existing connection would not
necessarily get enough flux into the joint area to address any
problems on the contact surfaces.
Issue (2) might hold, even if the joint was originally OK. If the
solder bond has cracked away from the contact metal, then the metal
surface has had the oppotunity to oxidize... and so getting some good
flus into the contact surface when re-soldering is probably a good
idea.

Yes. Especially when the old solder is leaded, and the new solder is
un-leaded. If I'm not sure, I clean the joint with a solder sucker
and maybe braid just to be sure.

RoHS unleaded solder which is not very strong. If you want strength,
use silver solder. My guess is that the engine control board gets
quite a pounding under the hood, and may have top heavy components
trying to flex the leads. If this is a problem, you might get a big
improvement if you can support the top heavy components with RTV,
silicon rubber, or hot melt glue. That will take the load off the
solder connection.

I do both. When I know that I'm using the same type of solder, I just
reheat and add more solder (with flux). If I don't know the solder
type, I remove as much of the old solder as possible.

Yes. Re-flowing is *possible* but risky, because
it generally results in a oxide-polluted 'cold' joint.
In either event, it is critical to apply separate flux
to the joint to float oxides out during the soldering
process. The improvement in quality is substantial.

Honestly, I dab flux on the joint and reheat. It is quick
and effective. For joints that appear cold after that operation,
I remove the old solder, re-flux and use good quality leaded
solder. (Then *always* clean with a 50/50 mix of alcohol and naphtha).
That hasn't failed yet.

He meant to say:
""Cold" solder joints (a frosted appearance),"
Here is a classic example. Note the frosted
appearance of the solder and the lack of 'wetting'
on the pin:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a0/Cold_solder_joint.jpg
--Winston
> He calls it dry solder.
** In fact he said " Dry solder joint " - a very common term.
The word dry refers to a lack of " wetting " of one or both the metal
surfaces to be soldered.
If an otherwise solderable metal surface is contaminated with oxides or
similar, hot solder will simply refuse to alloy with it and there will be no
or only minimal electrical connection and no mechanical strength.
A frosted appearance on the joint is generally due to movement while
cooling, insufficient heat or the use of lead free solder.

What the other say is true but I wanted to add, those pictures of the
'good' soldering job is substandard soldering. After cleaning off the
old solder with a solder sucker and/or wick, the old flux should be
removed and again after the new soldering.

It can.
A poor joint can result from lots of different
things. An overheated joint can also exhibit
'dewetting' because of rapid corrosion growth.
In casual Googling just now, I see some really
misleading information about proper electronic
soldering technique. That's a pity, because each
article I saw contains several good ideas with a
real stinker thrown in.
In one case, the user is cautioned (and I am not
making this up):
"The use of separate acid flux paste (e.g. as used
by plumbers) should NEVER be necessary in normal
electronics applications because electronics-grade
solder already contains the correct grade of flux!"
http://www.epemag.wimborne.co.uk/solderfaq.htm
Well, of course one would never use *acid* flux on
an electrical or electronic joint. One uses a
flux compatible with one's properly selected solder.
In another case, the poor reader is bombarded
with information about 5 different kinds of solder,
3 of which should never be used on electronics.
http://www.elexp.com/t_solder.htm
They go on to imply that added flux is *always*
a bad idea. This is nonsense. Added flux
compatible with your properly selected solder is
*always* a good idea.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_NU2ruzyc4
This video is difficult to watch for folks that
already know how to do electronic soldering because
it illustrates some really bad technique, initially.
It does go on to illustrate good technique but still
does not emphasize fluxing and joint prep properly IMHO.
--Winston
Naaah. I see that 'dry solder joint' is a real term.
It is a variety of 'cold solder' joint with insufficiently
wetted parts.
Avoid 'dry' joints by using careful joint preparation and
fluxing, proper soldering tools and techniques.

--Winston <--Eschewing kerfuffle; abjuring obfuscation.

Ron(UK)
My favorite flux (water-soluble) isn't really compatible with resin-type
no-clean fluxes. So, cleaning off the old flux helps me redo the joint.
It's possible, too, that 'hot enough' iron for my flux is not suitable
to fully activate the (unknown, foreign) original flux residue.
It's also possible that what looks like flux is actually someone's
candlewax drip. Cleaning first is cheap insurance.
Not the good ones. So, it's OK to be a slob just because you can?

Yeah. It's crap. You seem to be unaware that de-soldering in the old

systems.Cleaning it off is therefore a good practice.

Finding more webpages on how to fix this car, I came across this,
probably from a different guy:
"It is likely that a layer of hard oxide has built up inside the
solder joint. The layer of hard oxide has to be removed by
desoldering. Other than this, there are no known mechanical problem
with the main relay. "
FTR, this followed "The Honda or Acura turns over but won't start in
hot weather is a symptom of a main relay going bad. This is the result
of the poor solder application from the factory. As a consequence,
raise areas on the joint indicate a "dry joint" which can lead to an
open circuit. The dry, open circuit is the main cause of no start.
This is partly caused by the buildup of heat on the terminals which
expand, contract and subject to vibrations.."
The relay is under the dash, so doesn't get the heat of the engine,
but it seems just the heat of the sun, inside a closed car, then
cooling off every day, thousands of times, causes problems, especially
in the summer. The first guy recommends resoldering this main relay
(fuel injectors and fuel pump) in any car over 8 years old.
The second guy acutally has an enalarged photo of the circuit board
with several joints marked and the symptoms when each is bad, whn you
hold the cursor over the circle! This must be a really common
problem.

And a big tutorial on bad solder joints and resoldering.
But there are wackos who do great detail work too, so I didn't take
his oxide story seriously until you guys confirmed it.

Me. too.
>It can.
Yeah, but I thought that's what it always meant. In part, I'm
sure, because from age 9 to 19, all I had was a wood-burning iron,
which I never used to burn wood, and which was just a little too cold
to solder with well. It worked. but in the process I had loads of
cold solder joints that were really cold.
These are the reason I didnt' trust what I'd read about having to
desolder before resoldering. A lot of bad info out there, by people
who mean well.
Insufficient heat will do it for sure.
If you still have that tool, I think it would be very
interesting to see if you could get good quality joints
by polishing the parts to be joined and using added flux
before applying heat.
Wood burning tools can generally achieve 500 F and
60/40 solder melts at ~476 F.
I'd never recommend this as a normal practice because there
is not enough thermal headroom to do a consistently good
job with larger joints and 60/40 solder is inferior to
63/37 solder for electronic applications, all else being
equal. Still, it would be interesting, yes?

I understand the reason why they show the poor technique
initially. Hopefully, a user would recognize their way
of doing it and have a chance to correct. This isn't too
fantastic; I've seen some astoundingly bad technique used
by techs in companies that you would instantly recognize
the names of.
I got out of the biz before having to do *any*
'lead free' electronic soldering. I suspect that one
could do acceptable repairs with the proper tools.
I wouldn't expect that the proper techniques would
change much at all.

I agree with just about everything presented on that page.
This relay board is likely to be corroded in the defective
joints, so I certainly see that removing the old solder
is a very Good Idea.
However:
1) Dab compatible flux on each joint before soldering.
A) I use standard old rosin flux so I selected a
matching liquid flux. I apply it from a HDPE
flux bottle.
http://assemblyoutfitters.com/images/EC-900-230-Flux-bottle.jpg
For maximum convenience, the stuff is available
in 'pen' form too:
http://theledguy.chainreactionweb.com/images/83-1000-0186.jpg
2) The advice to clean the board with steel wool is
extremely risky. Fine metal hairs are not something
you want in an electronic assembly. Use an acid
brush and a flux bottle full of 50/50 alcohol/naphtha.

The whole story is this. When I was 9, I was given a wood-burning
iron with two extra tips and a finished wooden box to hold eveyrhing
for my 9th brithday. Plus about 4 piieces of wood with sketches on
them that I was supposed to brun lines on.
I liked it. Just then my older brother announced that his could be
fixed, and my mother announced that we could return mine. Now I had
hand-me-down toys and hand-me-down clothes all my life, and I didn't
mind at all, but this time they were going to snatch it right out of
my hands. I threw a tantrum, my last one. And I got to keep my
iron.
But then I felt guilty. I never burned wood but i soldered with it
for 5 to 7 years, until something in the solder ate a hole in the tip
and the iron stopped working. Then I got my brother's iron, fixed
it, and used that -- no longer feelign guilty, in fact retroactively
not guilty -- for the same length of time, until it wore out the same
way. Finally,at age 19 to 23, I bought myself a real soldering iron,
with replaceble elements and tips.
What is it in the solder that eats up my wood burning irons and the
tips. Oh, you said that in the other post: "Fluxes work by
dissolving metal and suspending oxides.They don't know when their job
is complete. Sooooooo.... :)"

I'll look for one of these. I have some liquid flux, but I can't
remember ifit's for electronic soldering, or copper plumbing! I'll
check. It's by Oatey, so I guess it's for plumbing. :-) I'll see
if I can find some flux before Sunday.

She works almost every day, so iIt's scheduled for Sunday now. The
weather says that Hurricane Irene will be off the coast of Delaware
about that time, but I can't tell if it will be raining hard in
Baltimore or not.
If the weather is good enough, maybe I can let you know by then.

I suspect that is the case. Even the mild rosin flux
in 'electronic solder' is an acid:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux_(metallurgy)#Rosin_fluxes
Repeated exposure of the iron tip to acid at high temperature
is bound to cause pitting. As you know, soldering tips are
plated to limit this damage.

The flux is magical stuff and proper 63/37 solder
has a somewhat lower melting temperature (362 F)
than the outmoded 60/40 alloy.
Combined, they might have allowed you to make good
quality joints with a marginal iron.
I don't know for sure, though.

You've got a lot of information available via the web.
You should filter out the nonsense and be able to
produce good quality solder joints easily, quickly
and consistently.

Perhaps you'd do better to go to one of yer famous Amsterdam

The problem with solder is it chemically bonds to the copper.
Good for the connections, bad for the copper on the iron tip.
After a period of time, enough copper has migrated from the tip
to the molten solder. Instant pit.
Nothing at all to do with the alleged acid content of the flux.

Savbit, Savbit 1, Sav1. Minimizes dissolution of copper.
Originally designed to reduce erosion of the soldering iron tips.
About 100 times slower erosion of copper than ordinary tin/lead
alloys.
Suitable for soldering thin copper platings and very thin copper wires.
That'll be what I learnt today. Thanks!

If you were near Silicon Gulch in CA, I would give you
a bottle of the stuff I use. It's a great match to my
solder, Kester 186.

It's the way I've always done it.
Sometimes you can get away with adding a bit of fresh solder -- or better,
flux. But cleaning the joint is the preferred method.
Well, I learn something new ervery day.
I guess I've been doing this wrong for 50 years, but this time I'm
going to resolder a relay from my neighbor, and I don't want her
getting stuck, as she was last Monday, so my standards are higher than
they would be for myself. .
But I guess now that I know better, I'lll do it this way for myself
too.
Thanks, William, and everyone.
BTW, I could find liquid flux nearby, in time for the repair tomorrow,
so I got flux paste. I thought I'd put a little on with a toothpick
or matchstick?? If the hurrican means I don't work on the car
tomorrow, should I go 10 miles farther to buy liquid flux?

Why limit yourself?
All four are the preferred method.
Remove old, Flux, Solder, Clean.

Try it! You will be delighted.

Flux paste will work fine as long as:
1) It matches the flux in your properly selected
solder. (R, RMA or RA rosin in both cases).
2) You daub it on generously with an acid brush,
covering the joint in question.
3) You clean the resulting joint carefully.
The beauty of the liquid rosin flux is that it's
difficult to supply *too little* to the joint.
--Winston
You want a good, mild RMA flux, not just liquid rosin. My favorite
was Kester 1544, but I think they dropped that formula now that they
concentrate on reflow solder products.
The proper method depends on what caused the failure. If it was
properly wetted, but cracked around the pin becasue the board is single
sided, a drop of fresh flux and a drop of new solder is fine. If it was
caused by bad plating seperating from the pin, or poor soldering without
proper wetting when it was made you will need to remove the old solder
and clean the pins.
Thanks.
I don't know about future cases, but in this one** they say it's
because it's in the passenger compartment and gets hot then cold every
day in the summer, and cold then not every day in the winter. Plus
the viibrations.
The temporary remedy was to open the car doors and let it cool off
inside. (Although it wasn't a very hot day. It's run fine for the
last week, also not very hot days. But it was in the 90's and
hundreds for 4 to 6 weeks before this started.))
Nothing I read commented on the original solder job, IMO probably
because they can't tell and most of them own Hondas and don't want to
think it was made badly in the first place.
**which is such a common probelm it has several detailed webpages by
different authors devoted to it (the "main relay" of a Honda, which
contains the fuel injector/engine control computer relay and the fuel
pump relay)
Most of them aren't likely to know anything more than which end of
the hot soldering iron to pick up, let alone the various failure modes
of soldered connections.

1544 is still around. A gallon is about $50 and would last your average
DIY guy about 800 years, if it weren't for the fact that the volatiles
seep through the plastic bottle.
My last bottle is about 25 years old. I bought four quart bottles of
it for $2.50 each from a surplus store in Dayton, Ohio. The others have
been used up.

Right. I'm happy they know which part is bad, roughly how to fix
it, and the write webpages for people like me.

I hate to say this but none of my solder is marked R, RMA, or RA. The
labels says nothing except that they have rosin.
Radio Shack solder mostly. I've used up other things I had.
Also the Radio Shack flux paste doesn't have an R-rating. It says
nothing about what kind of flux it is.
But the repair today was postponed, so I have time to go farther away
and buy liquid flus. I have another errand to do nearby.

I can do that.

I can do that. It's still necessary with liquid, right?

Does that also have to be R, RMA, or RA?

Either Rosin Activated or Rosin Mildly Activated will be fine. Don't buy
any acid flux.
But the paste you already have should be fine. If you want it to be
liquid, just mix it with some alcohol. (IPA is fine, but get the pure
stuff if you can, not the 70% stuff.)
If you're soldering iron tip isn't shiny new, put a shiny new tip on it.
It will make a surprisingly large difference in the ease and quality of
your soldering.

Then it is very probably R (rosin only) RMA (rosin mildly activated)
or RA (rosin activated). No worries.

If it is the SP-44 stuff, you are in luck
because it is compatible:

As Smitty Two says, you *can* thin your paste with
99% alcohol. I just find the Kester product to be
very convenient.

Yes indeed. Extra points are rewarded for cleanliness.

Yup.
Most specifically NOT 'acid' or 'plumbing' flux.
Sorry for shouting but we don't want your relay
to turn green and fall apart.
--Winston
And to turn a dull, oxidized tip shiny new
with just a few stabs, I highly recommend
the Hakko tip cleaner:

It works a treat.

Gotcha! You and Smitty Two.
>--Winston
I'd put in a plug for RA flux. I have a lot of old parts that I still
use a lot (e.g. over 10,000 RN55C resistors), and RA flux makes them
solder like new.

Okay, I'll see what they sell.

That'll work!
My fave Kester 186 is RMA and it does a stellar
job as well.
