Hi,
Looking for someone who can do soldering of electronic equipment on a small breadboard. Task: We have a Sennheiser wireless mic. The tiny on/off switch in the mic base breadboard is broken off and needs to be removed and replaced. We have the part. It is 1/4"x1/8" size with 4 small solder points.

Hi Arnold,
Solder is a great aid in making electrical connections, but in general should not be depended upon exclusively to secure a frequently stressed mechanical connection. After soldering the switch to the breadboard to complete the electrical circuit, I suggest adding a non-conductive epoxy adhesive around the perimeter of the switch to reinforce the mechanical connection to the board and relieve the stress on the solder joints caused when the switch is turned on and off. Maybe you can prevent a repeat of the original problem.
