How To Make Soldering Wire

Using the soldering gun heat the wiring up enough to melt the solder and gently apply the soldering to the wire with the soldering gun touching the wire.

How to make soldering wire. Hold it on the wire for 3-4 seconds. Radio Shack sells a rosin core with a 6337 make upTypical general purpose solder but not recommended for our stuff. Diameter of copper core.

This is a bare non-insulated B or F type crimp terminal. If desired you can clamp the wire in a third hand tool or similar heat-resistant holding device. You interweave the threads of the wires together before soldering the joint solid.

Keep the iron in place and touch the solder to the wire until its fully coated. In this you have to use a soldering iron and melt the solder into the filaments. The solder jar is made up by approx.

Repeat this process on the other wire. Tin the wires by applying a small amount of solder to the ends of each wire to just barely cover the wire. Or else it will make the wire firm.

60tinpine resin and 40lead. This type of terminal barrel lends much better to crimp-then-solder than do pre-insulated terminals. If there is clumping or excess solder you can reapply the iron to melt the solder.

Hold the two tinned wires on top of each other and touch the soldering iron to both wires. The soldering iron will not move throughout this process. The challenge is holding the wires in place long enough for the solder to cure.
