Hand soldering USB micro type B receptacle

In this video I will show how to hand solder USB micro type B receptacle using solder paste. You can do this without solder paste but I find this way a lot easier.
I will be using Hakko FX888-D soldering iron with a T18 D12 tip at 300 °C and leaded solder paste from Chemtools. And some good old solder for tip maintenance and topping up larger pads for better strength.

I never saw you put solder on 5 pins on connector or board? Did the connector come pre tinned?

[@funstacklabs]

You are correct and to my knowledge the connector wasn't pre tinned. Clean contacts, solder paste and flux under good heat is good enough. Solder flows to the pins.

@@funstacklabs gotcha. The solder paste has the solder in it?

[@tariqsingh3747]

@@baboneya yes, thats why its called solder paste

[@batooldalloul9397]

Where can i get that pcb board (i have the usbc connector but can't find the pcb to solder it on)?

Hi, good video but I believe what you used is called only USB Micro connector that supports USB 2.0 standard. USB Micro Type B connector looks a little bit different and it support USB 3.2 Gen1 (formerly known as USB 3.0) standard.
