Tinning

Hi questions

Sorry I think this is too late for your homework in design and technology but I have just seen the question!

Tinning is the application of a thin layer of soft solder to the ends of wires before soldering them. So basically it is plating something with a thin amount of a tin compound in order to protect them.
