SL1300 Soldering Guidelines 

Introduction 

 

 This document details the recommended soldering instructions for the SL1300 

antenna to ensure that no mechanical stress is put on to the connection pins which can 
cause damage to the antenna. 
 

Recommended Equipment 

 

    

 

Figure1:  Either a Pace or Weller soldering station (as shown). 

 

 

Figure 2: Soldering iron tip 

 

 

Figure 3: Solder:  Almit SR-37 Pb-Free 

Use a fine tip on the 
iron, we recommend 

0.8-1.0mm 30deg tip
