Learn How to Solder Correctly. In this video I show you the tools, tips, tricks, and techniques to properly solder, from what type of solder and flux you should use to how to splice the wires together for a strong soldered joint. I show you how to strip the wires, add heat shrink, splice the wires, solder, and melt the heat shrink to make a perfect soldered connection!

I got the very best education in soldering from the Navy and I can usually find something snarky to say about almost every YT "how to" video on the topic. Except this one. You hit everything I would have said, and every time I thought of a tip to add (adding silicone, moving heat shrink down from the solder zone, etc.) you mentioned it. Very well done. I'm sending anyone who asks about soldering to this video.

@rfmerrill 4 года назад

Hi Chris! I hope this comment doesn't get buried. I have a few tips in addition to what you showed: - For one, with the lineman's splice it actually helps a lot if you give the wires a pull, the splice will get tight like a knot. Properly done, a lineman's splice that is pulled tight can actually make a good connection without solder, just heatshrink to keep it in place. - I usually just cut any strands that are sticking out with flush cutters rather than trying to wrap them around as that can be painful sometimes. - If it's a situation where the wire is experiencing strain--bending, vibration, etc--you want to avoid having too much length of solid solder, because solder is quite brittle. If you did the lineman's splice properly and pulled it tight like I mentioned, you should only need a small blob of solder on either end of the splice. - Using 63/37 lead solder instead of 60/40 is a bit more foolproof, as with 60/40 you have to make sure the joint stays still as it cools. With 63/37 it's less of a concern - Silver-bearing leaded solder is mechanically stronger than regular leaded solder, and just as good in pretty much every other respect except cost. If you're not going to need a lot, and the price won't break the bank, silver solder is great for any situation where the solder joint cracking would be very bad. - I generally recommend people *don't* buy solder from hardware stores, as it's usually only mediocre quality and almost always very thick solder wire. Generally the thinner the solder wire the better. The thicker it is the easier it is to add too much. - you don't want to heat wires too long or it will start to melt the wire insulation - you can actually buy heat shrink tubing that shrinks 3:1 instead of 2:1 which can be helpful when you're soldering together wire of two different sizes, or when you can't get an exact size match.

@opensourceeducated2862 5 лет назад

Finally it's Ed any tips for very tiny fragile wires? They come pre tinned but crease and break easily. Anyway I can reinforce them or tips on striiping insulation off very tiny wire?

@finallyitsed2191 5 лет назад

Hey Don, on very small wires such as 20 AWG or smaller I generally just use my thumbnail to remove the insulation without any trouble. You just need to be careful not to lose any wire strands when you do this. Also you can easily toast the insulation with too much heat so careful use of a soldering iron is your best bet. You would need to twist both wires around each other (like in Chris's video) and carefully add momentary heat and use a very thin solder along with some flux . You can actually purchase a "cold heat" soldering pen for jobs like that and eliminate the heat altogether. Good luck!

The second method is the style that NASA teaches Astronauts. Strip at least an inch back, pre-tin the wires, bend 90° two-thirds of the way back on the stripped section, twist the wires around a minimum 3 times on each side, now solder the wires. The goal isn't just a good electrical connection, it's a solid mechanical connection that doesn't have weak spots around the solder joint.

@jonathankr 4 года назад

Wow. Thanks for the info. But in cases where you don't need mechanical strength, i think the other method would have better transmission of electricity. Right? It's more contact.

@SpecialEDy 4 года назад

@@jonathankr There is an important thing to remember about soldering, the lead and tin in solder have a significantly higher resistance than copper. But, due to its small size, the resistance of the solder joint is likely several orders of magnitude less than the overall resistance of the wire, and you already would need a piece of scientific equipment to accurately measure the resistance of measly any wire on a car. Twisting method would theoretically give you a better electrical connection because there is more wire involved in the connection. Twisting also gets the wires touching in a lot of area, which reduces the distance through solder that the electricity must travel. Crimping actually gives you the best electrical connection.

@sdjnwhyNZ 2 месяца назад

Hey, man. Some personal experience here: I used lead-free soldering and understood why you prefer leaded wires. Lead-free wire will oxidise right away once heat removed. It becomes very hard to modify unless heat up with much higher temperature (that brings risk of burning the cable). So lead free wire requires higher skill level and quite often it's a one-shot operation. To undo lead free soldering, I would use a rotary multitool to grind majority off or just cut the section out.

@karllued 4 года назад

Great video. I'm an electronic technician. Over 30 years experience. 2 suggestions. One don't sponge the tip off just after soldering. Sponge it off just before soldering. Leaving solder on the tip will oxidize the solder, and not the tip, the oxidized solder will protect the tip. Also, it would be nice to add in how to prevent and remove solder bridges when soldering on a circuit board.

@NikkiTheOtter 4 года назад

Solder bridges, I keep scrap stranded 14AWG for cleaning those up. Fan the tip and press the iron down. Also, he said lead-free solder doesn't have the shiny look that leaded does. I use both, and if you do it right, lead-free is just as shiny as leaded.

@jaygrosse8365 7 лет назад

Well done! I have never been satisfied with my own soldering jobs, and now I know why. I need to get some helping hands and make sure the solder never touches the tip of the soldering iron. Your videos are consistently practical and easy to follow Chris.

@tripacer8259 6 лет назад

Well said, exactly how I feel. My soldering was never "good" so we will see how it goes!

@3lp4u 5 лет назад

as long as you heat up the wires enough to make the solder flow into them there is no problem with touching the the tip of the iron with solder.

@innovativeintelligence4172 2 года назад

So much easier to learn how to solder from you Chris then my blind Grand Ma , you are a life saver!

@stevesd4375 11 месяцев назад

This is an excellent video on how to properly solder electrical wires. My Grandfather taught me how to solder when I was a kid. But I have a number of friends who ask me to solder things for them. Now I am going to refer them to your video instead of doing it for them. Thank you!

@skatedoof 5 лет назад

Butane soldering iron is one of the best tools I've purchased, especially for auto work. No cords and it heats up from cold in seconds. Remove the tip, and it's a heat gun/torch. Love that thing!

@HeWhoIsWhoHeIs 3 года назад

Do a search for Weller WESD51. It'll change your life.

@skatedoof 3 года назад

@@HeWhoIsWhoHeIs Will do. One thing I've been doing lately is just using a maps torch to heat joints and feed solder into them. That obviously won't work in every situation but for large work outside of a vehicle it's way faster

@HeWhoIsWhoHeIs 3 года назад

@@skatedoof My mistake, it seems they upgraded the model. Now it's Weller WE1010NA Digital Soldering Station. You can find it on Amazon for about $110. Turn it on, set the temp, and about 10 seconds later you're soldering. It's amazing.

@michaelkasbeer-betty4362 3 года назад

Great video. This video and 30 mins of practice helped me make some great wire splices. One tip: I did this in a car wheel well and used small magnets to temporarily mount two alligator clips to the frame right underneath the wires. This gave me some control of the wires while soldering.

Your tip for those without high voltage electricity was the best tip by far. I've been using a 1lb propane torch with the tip closed up 75 percent. It just covers the few who live very poor or completely off the grid. In all, thanks man!

@theboywholived2 3 года назад

I have always wondered why my soldering was useless, because I was taught at school to "cold solder" again another reason why school wasted my time. I have learnt more from you videos than I ever learnt at school. Thank you for all you videos you show in detail step by step you explain everything and you take pride in what you do.
