SparkFun Basic Flashlight Soldering Kit

The SparkFun Basic Flashlight Soldering Kit is an ideal choice for those who are new to soldering and want to learn the basics. This easy-to-assemble kit is designed to teach the fundamentals of through-hole soldering and circuit design. With only four unique parts to solder onto a PCB, and a CR2032 battery to insert, you can create a simple flashlight that's perfect for illuminating dark spaces.

This kit includes a PCB, a small coin cell battery, a battery holder, an LED, a resistor, and a switch. The front of the PCB features markings and outlines for the four different components, ensuring everything is assembled correctly. On the back, you'll find a schematic of the flashlight circuit, showing all four components and their interactions. Please note that you'll need to supply your own soldering iron and solder to assemble the kit.

The Basic Flashlight Soldering Kit is not just an educational tool, it's also practical. Once assembled, the flashlight can be used in a variety of situations, from finding your way in the dark to providing light during a power outage. The super bright white LED ensures that you'll have plenty of light, while the mini power switch allows for easy operation. The kit is also compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry around.

One of the unique features of this kit is its educational value. Not only does it teach basic soldering skills, but it also provides insight into circuit design. The schematic on the back of the PCB shows how each component interacts within the circuit, providing a practical understanding of how electronic devices work. This makes the kit a great choice for students, hobbyists, or anyone interested in learning more about electronics.
