Soldering advice

[greenman]

I have a Sansui 2000a that was working ok, but now the fuse holder broke. Any advice on soldering parts like this? Thanks

Got some pictures? Need to know what the connections look like for some advanced tips. But the general rules apply, make sure the parts are clean (use alcohol), apply a clean, tinned iron to the joint, then the solder. I like to desolder parts with wick, some folks like the desoldering vacuum more. Good non-acidic liquid flux is your friend too.

Dont use your tongue to see if the iron is hot.

Ought to be pretty straight forward. Is it pc board mounted? Or chassis mounted. (picts would help )

I'd practice some on equipment you don't care about.

I assume you are trying to replace the part, and not just solder back on a broken piece? Some pictures or description would go a long way in us being able to help you better.

 

[rollei35guy]

ok i'll do it (it's my first time )

:worthless

Here is the part that is broken. I would think This could be soldered. What do you think?

 

[similost]

I don't think that could be reliably repaired. It would be best to replace the whole socket.

The threaded metal insert came out of the plastic housing? Use a dab of epoxy, then solder the electrical connection back in place if one is broken. Replacing the socket would probably be easier.

:yes:

Are parts available?

It's a fuse holder. You can buy those anywhere. It might look a bit different, but it will be functionally identical.

 

[hdewees]

Just replace the whole fuse holder - like Sam said, you can buy them anywhere. If ya can't find a place, try Newark Electronics online.

Do not use acid core solder

 

[greenman]

Is that the same a rosin solder? What about Silver-Bearing Solder?

Do not use acid core solder

Rosin is good--acid is bad! Acid is for copper pipe plumbing not electronics.
