How To Solder Solid Wires Together

Lay them together overlapping at the soldered part then blob them together.

How to solder solid wires together. When the joint is hot enough just touch the solder to it and it will flow around it. Strip off about 1 inch of the insulation from each end of the two wires using the wire strippers. Hold it on the wire for 3-4 seconds.

Solder is not meant to make a solid connection - only to hold one together. After tinning the heads of both header and wire put them together. For the stranded wire using your fingers gently twist the stranded wire in a clockwise direction to bring all the wires together in a semi-tight fashion.

To tin a wire apply the tip of your iron to the wire for a second or two then apply the solder to the wire. Step 3 Plug the soldering guniron into an electrical outlet and allow it to heat up for about three to five minutes. Solder is attracted to heat so as the solder melts it is pulled towards the heat through the wires connecting every strand together with solder.

Insert a piece of heat shrink tube on one of the wire. Alternately you can wrap the wires together side-by-side check out the pictures Its much easier to twist the wires together effectively but it affects the outcome when you straighten out the wires. Apply a small amount of solder flux.

First place the solder on the tip to allow for melting. This will heat the wire to allow your solder to melt. As the melt will start to cool down the bond will get strong.

Your solder will be applied opposite from the iron on top of the wire. Affix the wire to the soldering clamps making sure that the clamps hold the flux parts of the wire together completely. Use a thin solid wire 28 AWG-30 AWG and wrap it around both wires.
