SOLDER JOINTS

Your solder joints should look like those shown as ‘OK’ below, they should have that
neat conical shape on

BOTH sides of the PCB

. If they don’t look the same on both

sides then stop! Work out why from the soldering guides linked and don’t continue
until you are getting those results.

This isn’t just OCD talking, you are very likely to end up with a destroyed, damaged
or defective unit if you’re not hitting that standard.
