AC/DC
- DC – Direct Current
- AC – Alternating Current – United States – 120v 60Hz
Wall outlet power AC current is easier to transport a waveform
Electronics use DC current because it is easier to produce a specific result
Digital circuits 1 and 0
Ohms Law – V=IR
- Voltage (V) Is the analog of water pressure
- Resistance (R) Describes the restriction of flow
- Current (I) Is the rate of flow volume/unit time
Ground
- Necessary for any circuit to work.
- Charge and Ground
- Ground is where electricity wants to be.
Kirchhoff’s Laws
Kirchhoff’s Law of Voltage (KVL)
The sum of voltages in a loop or circuit is zero.
Kirchhoff’s Law of Current (KCL)
The sum of current in and out of a node is zero.

Solder Paste Properties
Common solder is an alloy from metals tin, silver, lead, and copper. The melting points of these metals are:
| Metal | Melting temperature |
| tin (Sn) | 232 °C |
| silver (Ag) | 961.8 °C |
| copper (Cu) | 1,084.6 °C |
| lead (Pb) | 327.5 °C |
| bismuth (Bi) | 271 °C |
The alloys, however, have lower melting temperatures than the pure metals:
| Alloy | Melting temperature |
| Sn63 Pb37 | 183 °C |
| Sn62 Pb36 Ag2 | 179 °C |
| Sn96.5 Ag3 Cu0.5 (SAC305) | 217–219 °C |
| Sn96 Ag4 | 221 °C |
| Sn92.5 Ag3.5 Cu1 Bi3 | 213 °C |
| Sn42 Bi58 | 138 °C |
For soldering with lead, the Sn63Pb37 alloy is almost universally used. For lead-free soldering, the alloy Sn96.5Ag3Cu0.5 is the most common. The alloy is also known as the abbreviation SAC305.
Profile Recommendations
The table below is a starting point for a profile for a batch oven. The optimal profile also depends on the PCB, and therefore the suitability of a profile must be verified with actual measurements.
| Zone | Lead (Sn63 Pb37) | Lead-free (SAC305) |
| Preheat | to 150 °C in 60 s | to 150 °C in 60 s |
| Soak | from 150 °C to 165 °C in 120 s | from 150 °C to 180 °C in 120 s |
| Reflow | Peak temperature 225 °C to 235 °C, hold for 20 s | Peak temperature 245 °C to 255 °C, hold for 15 s |
| Cooling | -4 °C/s or free-air cooling | -4 °C/s or free-air cooling |
