Members
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
- Desoldering braid
- 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
- Hantek DSO5202B (Manual) (Datasheet)
- Hitachi VC-6545 Analogue Oscilloscope
- Logic analyser (Maybe a few of the knockoff USB ones?)
- JTAG programmers - 5 x Insight IJC-2
- Atmel AVR ISP MKII (Manual)
- Multimeters:
- High accuracy bench multimeters
- Solartron 7150 supplied by Nigle
- Fluke 8010A (Manual) (Teardown)
- Benchtop Power Supplies:
- Farnell TSV70 MKII - 35V 10A / 70V 5A (Manual)
- 2 x TTI PL320 - 32V 2A (Manual)
- Weir 460 - 60V 1A
- Bigger bench power supply - 60V 30A would be good
- Pulse/Function generators
- FeelTech FY6600
- ISO-tech GFG-8219A - 3MHz 50Ω (Manual)
- Wavetek 182A - 4MHz 50Ω (Manual)
- Thandar TG102 - 2Mhz 50Ω (Manual)
- Thandar TG105 Pulse Generator - 5Mhz (Info)
- Component testers - TC1 (small and portable), ET4410 (benchtop)
- 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
Coax - audio and RF types
- Heatshrink sleeves/sleeving
- Flux pens
- Small and medium sized breadboards
- Flux and other cleaners (isopropyl alcohol, etc.)
- Drywipe markers
- Glass fibre abrasive pens
Components
Need to keep these stocked up and replenished regularly
Training
We should offer some! Possible subjects...
- Workshop introduction (How not to break everything)
- Basic soldering
- Advanced soldering (SMD, hot air, reflow etc.)
- 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
