The Harley dealership wants $1,700 to run wires through my new handlebars and solder the connections. So not including the wire, solder and solder gun, this video saved me about $1,670!! Thanks.

@walterbrunswick 9 лет назад

You did well. What I find is coating the copper wire with a flux paste (a "tinning flux") greatly helps in heat transfer and wetting as well as preventing copper oxides from forming. The solder flows almost instantaneously all over the fluxed joint (capillary action). That way you aren't applying as much heat to the join and your coating/insulation will not melt.

@IFearlessINinja 5 лет назад

@SuperScottCrawford 9 лет назад

two small things - with the first example, if you do use heat shrink tubing, usually you need to already have it on one of the wires or else you'll be outta luck. also, if you don't have wire strippers handy, you can melt the sheath of the wire off with just a little application of flame. slightly melt it and it tugs right off.

@tomgraham2289 10 лет назад

Thanks so much for this video! I have soldered copper tubing and do pretty well at that, but in terms of wiring I wasn't applying the principal of heating the wire joint (as you would heat the tubing joint to draw in the solder). I made a big mess of the electronics of a nice electric guitar ... Now I think I can redo it much better!

@AIexanderHartdegen 13 лет назад

@LauxHawk it depend of the size of your soldering. If you need to solder big power connectors on a PCB, you need 1, or 2 mm diameter of tin. For the classics components, you can use 0,5, 0,7, or 1mm. If you need to solder very fine chip, it's sure you need 0,4mm diametere tin. In fact, there is some soldering technique where diameter is not very important, cause only the melting tin on the tip of the iron is used by "drag" on the component. So, all diameters are good.

A lot of people I know who are just getting into soldering and electronics say that soldering is a huge pain in the ass. I found the biggest reason is because they're using little 5 dollar radioshack irons. They work for really basic projects and things like that but if you're going to do anything more advanced they're useless. I highly recommend getting a good quality soldering station. It makes all the difference in the world.

@E5Bobby 11 лет назад

One other point: depending upon the nature of the joint you may not want to "flick" off any excess solder as it could cause a cold solder joint that could possibly be unable to pass current through it properly. Better to just go easy when applying the solder to begin with.
