How to extend leads on electronic components?
Basically, i'm poor and interested in electronics (anything to get me away from homework), and i've been desoldering components from broken gadgets around my place only to find their leads or whatever are waayy too short to put in this solderless breadboard i got off ebay. I tried soldering on little jumper wires but it's near impossible to hold the component without breaking it (using alligator clips, tape, charred fingers, whatever), hold the wire, hold the solder, and hold the first soldering iron ever made. Any pointers on how to make them longer? I'd much rather not buy these components with longer leads on them already, online shipping is awful and there aren't any stores around here that sell this type of thing. Thanks
>(using alligator clips, tape, charred fingers, what eve
My favorite tool is a small curved hemostat that I modified by grinding the tip to narrow it. A plus is that solder will not stick to stainless steel.
>online shipping is awful and there aren't any stores around he
Try stocking up on parts to minimize shipping costs. Of course it helps to know what country you are in!
