How To Properly Solder Electrical Wires

Make sure to heat it before because of that the Solder melts and joints with the connector.

How to properly solder electrical wires. Remove the soldering iron and wait a few seconds to let the soldered connection cool and harden. Set the iron to the solders temperature range. Using a Wire Stripper Strip the Wires to Desired Length.

This type of terminal barrel lends much better to crimp-then-solder than do pre-insulated terminals. Tarnished copper is hard to solder. In this video I show you the tools tips tricks and techniques to properly solder from what type of solder and flux you sho.

And allow the solder to melt. Do not over tin the wire or solder may flow up under the wires insulation causing it become rigid or you will end up with globs of solder on the terminal that will have to be removed. Extend the solder from its spool in a straight line.

The process of soldering is taking two or more wires and joining them together and then using heat to melt electrical solder connecting those two wires permanently. Before touching the soldering tip to the wires tin the tip by melting a small amount of solder on it. Once the connection evenly turns the correct silver color of solder remove the soldering iron and allow the joint to cool.

Start with clean bright copper. This helps to spread out the heat when the tip touches the wires. A cold solder joint happens when the hot solder hits a cold wire hardening it.

But even in the soldering community theres still room to argue. A piece of coax braid is good for burnishing the wire. Lastly put Solder on the wire especially on the tip.
