Radio Shack Taser What Is The Maximum Temperature A Radio Shack Solar Cell Can Withstand?

What is the maximum temperature a Radio Shack solar cell can withstand? - radio shack taser

I buy only 2 solar cells, Radio Shack (Item # 276-0124) and not surface in the back, I am also a prototyping board from there. I wonder what is the maximum temperature that can withstand the cell before the holidays? I use a toaster oven, furnace brazing, so they must know what the danger zone for determining the heat. Thank you!

It is a fascinating idea. I did a little research and it might actually come very handy to use a toaster oven as a welder. It is very difficult to solder a component package. I have this URL, you've probably already seen:

explains how to use it as a welder on the stove. He has some recommendations for the temperature. It would be best, the number of parts from Radio Shack and Google, then look at the specifications for them, how much heat it can handle to see. I did it and found this page but not all the details:

You must be a lot of that melts at low temperatures. This could be meUR the best and then buy the replacement solar cell and give it a try. What I would do first is to light the stove and then try to make a small piece of solder in the first place, or merged as a link to receive some type of welding fluid. If you damage that is not the components that could be an elegant way to carry out quickly the welding of different elements.

Can you measure its temperature? This could do a good thing.

Although solar cells can withstand soldering temperatures would not recommend.

"Solder containing lead in applications up to 250 ° C to 280 ° C or 300 ° C, whereas lead-free solder requires a higher temperature around 350 ° C to 400 ° C." ~ Wiki

The cell does not melt, but out of gas in May to doping, the properties and effectiveness of change of the cells. Any uneven heating of the cell leads to crack.

I recommend the "pilots" glue in this application. You can apply online too at:

It has a little more resistance welding, but the final application is very thin and will be negligible. This will save you a headache.

Best ofSuerte!

A toaster oven says - not enough to be hot everywhere. And indeed, the mounting surface on the back of a board is not very good idea - What is that all components of the other side.
I think you need to mount the solar cells and make learning more about the techniques of surface-mount soldering.
