INTRODUCTION TO REISTANCE SOLDERING
Definition
re•sist•ance sol•der•ing- a method of soldering where the heat
to melt solder is instantaneously generated by passing an electrical
current through a resistive material.
Core Requirements
Power Unit & Footswitch
The foundation of a resistance soldering system; produces and controls
an ample supply of safe high amperage, low voltage current.
Handpiece
Completes an electrical circuit carrying the current from the source,
through the pieces
being soldered and
back.
Electrodes
Generates an instant
and
intense
level
of thermal output
as current is forced
through its highly
resistive material.
