    • touch the tip of the solder where the iron meets the pad or the pin

    • try to get as much contact with both the pad as the pin as you can

    • the pad could be dirty or not hot enough. Especially when the pad is connected to a ground or power plane layer in the PCB it may take longer than expected to reach a sufficient temperature. Usually adding some flux helps remove any dirt.
