Electronic kits such as our UBMP4 are designed with through-hole parts to make the circuit easy to solder for students and hobbyists. The most difficult component to solder onto the circuit board is the USB type-C connector, due to its low profile, closely-spaced pins. This video will show you an easy way to solder the USB-C connector by drag soldering using a wide, blade soldering iron tip.

To successfully drag solder a USB-C connector you will need: • a soldering iron with both a small conical tip and a wide blade tip • your preferred electronic solder • a flux pen that dispenses the same type of flux that is in your electronic solder • tape to hold the connector in place while soldering
