Soldering Rod

A soldering rod is a hand-held electrical tool used to join electronic components and wires using solder. It heats the solder so that it melts and forms a strong electrical and mechanical connection between components. Soldering rods are commonly used for Arduino projects, circuit boards, robotics, wiring, and electronic repairs. They are useful for making permanent connections after testing a circuit on a breadboard. Care should be taken because the tip becomes extremely hot during use.
