Are you new to soldering and want to learn the basics with one easy kit? This Flashlight Soldering Kit is an easy to assemble soldering kit designed to help teach the basics of through hole soldering and circuit design. 

This kit requires you to only solder four unique parts onto a PCB and then insert a CR2032 battery, once completed you will be provided with a simple flashlight that will light up dark areas and keep the monsters away!

Inside each Basic Flashlight Soldering Kit bag is a PCB, a small coin cell battery, a battery holder, an LED, a resistor, and a switch. On the front of the kit’s PCB, you can see markings and outlines for the four different components to make sure everything is assembled correctly, while on the back is a schematic of the flashlight circuit showing all four components and how they interact with each other. All you need to supply is a soldering iron and solder to put your kit together!

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

LED
A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
PCB
A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
