Description
Our learn to solder pack is the ideal low cost solution for teaching soldering in the classroom/after school club. The pack provides all of the parts and PCB's required for a class size of 25 and also includes a 9V battery for testing purposes. Each pack comprises; 25 x PCBs, 100 x 100 ohm resistors, 25 x LED's, and a 9V PP3 battery.
We have also produced a step by step guide to soldering, which covers; equipment, solder, tinning & cleaning, soldering in 8 steps, de-soldering in five steps, wire preperation, examples of good and bad solder joints, basic PCB repair, resistor information, LED information, full step by step build information for the kit, and how the learn to solder kit works. This guide covers everything that you might need to discuss with students and can form the basis of your lesson plan.
Using the kits and the step by step guide, each student will solder four resistors and one LED to their PCB before pressing it to the terminals of the 9V battery to check that their board works. Using the guides they will be able to examine their own work and troubleshoot problems. The battery pads on the PCBs have been shaped inline with the battery terminals on a PP3 battery making it straightforward to see which way around it should be placed on the battery.
Features:
- Purpose built PCBs that can be tested, once built, with the supplied 9V PP3 battery.

Q:
I have a group of 30 students and I wondered if I could by them in a batch of 30 and not 25. If Yes how much would it cost for 30 of these kits including VAT and postage?
A:
Hi Stephen, Unfortunately we only provide the kit in a class set of 25, if the order was for a large enough batch we may be able to do sets of 30, but we would need somewhere around 30-40 sets of 30 for us to even be able to look into the possibility of arranging a custom kit, sorry.
