Equipment

Soldering Stations

  • Each soldering station should have:
    • OKI/Metcal PS-900 Iron and Power supply
    • OKI/Metcal PS-900 Stand, sponge, and tip cleaner
    • PCB holder
    • Solder (leaded and lead-free)
    • Non-corrosive flux
    • A variety of suitable tips
    • Solder sucker(s) and desoldering braid(s)
    • Cutting mat (for cutting, not soldering)
    • Heat-proof soldering mat (for soldering, not cutting)
    • Side cutters
    • Wire strippers
    • Anti-static tweezers
    • Helping hands with magnifying glass
    • Fan or Fume extractor
  • Additionally shared between them we should have:
    • Reflow oven
    • Desoldering gun
    • Hot Air gun
    • Solder paste dispenser
    • Hot glue gun
    • Small screwdrivers and other misc tools
    • Trimmer tools (AKA 'pot twiddler' - like Vishay part number ACCTRITOB308-T000 )
    • Large and small crimping tools

Test Equipment

  • Benchtop Power Supplies:
  • Bigger bench power supply - 60V 30A would be good
  • Pulse/Function generators
  • Component testers:
  • Plenty of hookup leads
    • 4mm (banana) to 4mm in 0.5 and 1m lengths
    • 4mm to crocs (or provide 4mm crocs to plug on the end of the leads)
    • miniature crocs to crocs
    • BNC to 4mm
    • BNC to miniature crocs
    • BNC to BNC
  • Electronic DC Load

Consumables

  • Solder, Leaded in various sizes, rosin flux core
  • Solder paste (?)
  • Wire
    • Hookup/breadboard wire in lots of pretty colours
    • Multi-core in various gauges
    • RF Coax
    • Power cables: Mains, DC and HV
  • Heatshrink sleeves/sleeving
  • Flux pen
  • Breadboards:10 x 830 Tie points, 2 x 400 Tie points, 1 x 360 Tie points 1 x 936 Tie points, 1 x 390 Tie points
  • Flux and other cleaners (isopropyl alcohol, etc.)
  • Drywipe markers

Components

The current Components page is out of date and needs updating.

Training

We should offer some! Possible subjects...

  • Workshop introduction (How not to break everything)
  • Basic soldering
  • Advanced soldering (SMD, hot air, reflow etc.)
  • PCB Design
  • Basic/Advanced electronics
  • Arduino/Microcontroller programming
  • Amateur Radio Intermediate Practicals Course (Fitting mains and coax plugs, soldering basics, reading resistors, testing diodes, and building kits) - applies to a lot of non-radio electronics efforts
