Question 347Electricity & Electronics - QMED
70% to passIf a delicate component must be soldered into a circuit, how can the component be protected from the heat of the soldering process?
Apre-oxidizing the leads to be soldered
Bcoating the leads to be soldered with a light oil film
Coperating the soldering gun not more than 60 seconds at a time
Dusing a thermal shunt heat sink
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) using a thermal shunt heat sink. When soldering a delicate component, a thermal shunt heat sink should be used to protect the component from the heat of the soldering process. A heat sink provides a path for the heat to dissipate away from the component, preventing damage. The other options, such as pre-oxidizing the leads or using a light oil film, would not effectively draw heat away from the component. Limiting the soldering time to 60 seconds may help, but a heat sink provides a more reliable method of protecting the component.
