How To Make Soldering Iron Wire At Home

The two irons are coupled together using a simple 3D printed part.

How to make soldering iron wire at home. Once you do this youll be ready to do test your soldering iron. Cut a length of copper wire and bend it in half. Now attach a long wire with the iron rod the cover the iron rod with a paper and tape it.

Put back the switch on the soldering iron. A cold solder joint happens when the hot solder hits a cold wire hardening it. Make sure that the wires to be soldered are perfectly clean.

The bursh-in-bottle type is perfect. Soldering tools for electrical applications should be in the 25-30 W range. Once the flux starts bubbling you can begin adding solder.

Take the copper tip 1 a piece of 710 cm of 345 mm diameter copper rod and roll the insulator over it on about 4 cm. Now tape that. As you do this make sure to touch the graphite using a free wire connected to the ground.

This handheld tool heats up to melt the solder around the copper wiring. Then make two more bends near the center or loop of the first bend as shown in the video so the wire looks kind of like a z. If you want them to remain firmly connected youll have to make use of a normal tape to cover them together.

Too much or too little flux will cause problems with the solder attaching to the parts. If it is present in the bad condition there would be no use at all to solder a good joint. Then connect two pieces of thin copper wires at the two ends of the wire insulations.
