Why is my soldering not working properly?

Causes for this type of issue can include: Having an incorrect lead length that lifts when entering a solder bath. Wave soldering a flexible PCB that bends while the components stay flat. Using components that have varied thermal or lead solderability requirements.

How dangerous is it to touch a solder joint?

The two joints on the left are an obvious danger of touching. But the one on the right is long enough to be dangerous as well. It would not take much force to bend that lead over to touch an adjacent trace. Repair: Trim all leads just at the top of the solder joint.

Why is my soldering iron not bonding to the pad?

The solder has wetted the leads nicely, but it has not formed a good bond with the pad. This can be caused by a dirty circuit board, or by failing to apply heat to the pad as well as the pin. Repair: This condition can usually be repaired by placing the tip of the hot iron at the base of the joint until the solder flows to cover the pad.

How do you get excess solder out of a soldering iron?

Repair: Sometimes the excess solder can be drawn off by dragging the tip of a hot iron between the two solder joints. If there is too much solder, a solder sucker or solder wick can help get rid of the excess.
