-To solder a wire into a PCB hole, stick the wire in the hole and tape it so it can't fall out. Heat the wire and the hole at the same time. Apply solder to the wire and hole and it should wick in. Look for the conical (volcano) shape as the solder adheres to pad and the wire. If you get a sphere instead, it's called a "cold joint" and usually will fail.

+To strip a wire, use the correct wire stripping hole for your wire gauge. Our wire is 22 or 24 gauge. Scissor the wire, and pull off the insulation. If you use a stripping hole that is too small for your wire, the cutter will nick the wire and it will be more likely to break off at the nick.

+To solder, tin the tip of the soldering iron. Use the iron to heat the wire. When the wire is hot enough, add solder to the joint. The solder should wick into the joint. If it does not, the wire is not hot enough. Use more tinning on the iron tip to allow better contact with the wire.
