How To Solder Two Solid Wires Together

Slide the heat shrink over the newly soldered connection so it is completely covered.

How to solder two solid wires together. Plug the soldering guniron into an electrical outlet and allow it to heat up for about three to five minutes. Then the normal soldering techniques apply. Thats where the Lineman splice comes in.

Get the liquid solder filler into the wire tip. Other is to put the solder with the targeted tips and place the hot iron in the joint. Remove the soldering iron and wait a few seconds to let the soldered connection cool and harden.

This requires a greater length to be stripped of insulation and can be tricky if the wires differ in diameter or if one is stranded and the other solid. Place soldering iron under the wire. Youll get a straight wire that has a little sideways bump in it so get a larger shrink tube to isolate it youll need two times the diameter of one wire.

You need to wrap the wires one around the other. Make seven or eight turns and cut the excess of the wire. RMA rosin flux is best.

The wraps should be adjacent and close to each other. How to Solder Stranded Wire to Solid Wire Cut the two wires to be soldered together to the appropriate length as needed for your project. You simply touch the freshly tinned tip of your soldering iron onto the bare wires for a couple of seconds and then apply the solder at which point it will smoke and flow over the wires almost immediately and you can withdraw the solder and then the iron and you should be left with a bright silver joint like the.

Now that the two tinned wires are wrapped around each other we can re-apply the soldering iron and the solder from each wire will melt and mingle forming a nice solid solder joint. Always place the soldering iron or gun UNDER the wires and add the solder to the TOP of the wire. Plug the soldering guniron into an electrical outlet and allow it to heat up for about three to five minutes.
