How to solder a resistor to an LED

Uploaded by: ProzacGraal
Video Description:
A basic instruction for electronics enthusiasts. I use an RGB LED and a 510 ohm resistor as I may change from 6 to 9 volts later, but with my LEDs i could go as low as 330 ohms. I sacrifice some brightness for the sake of longer life. To choose your resistor, the value in ohms = voltage of your batteries or power supply / (as in divided by) the amperage that your LED needs to run

Thanks! That's exactly what I needed to know. I have an old motherboard, and I wanted to solder two LEDs directly to the front panel connector pins since I just have the motherboard laying on my desk, and not inside a case.

if you keep the tip clean they are OK and are soldering surfaces of electronics that are designed to be soldered to. You have to cross the gap on the tip for the spark to go and heat to be produced. More recently I have been using the old fashioned iron - you dont have to watch the battery life that way too

Dude cold heat sucks balls Get a Weller 25 Watt or something tat u plug in. Its retarded. lol like really its much easier to solder

Useful video on ... ( 6 months ago by tdraket)

Useful video on soldering resistors to leds. On a side note sodomy is not man sex. It's anything besides penis in vagina. Oral is sodomy. Anal is sodomy too, but many men have anal with girls. As a matter of fact the majority of sodomy doesn't even occur between men. It's between opposite sex(heterosexual) couples.
