How To Solder 2 Small Wires Together
I just did exactly this the other day - these LED strips are neat.
How to solder 2 small wires together. How to Solder Two Small Wires - YouTube. If not take the smaller wire and stip about twice as much as you need make sure it is twisted and neat then fold it in half. To get started use wire strippers on the wire so you have bare wire exposed.
Make seven or eight turns and cut the excess of the wire. Obviously these should not be connected to a power source at the time. Then place the wire on top of the cool solder and use the soldering iron to melt it all together.
Wire nuts have a conical threaded metal insert in the tip which when tightened onto the wires cuts into them. Lay them together overlapping at the soldered part then blob them together. Just like you would do with two solid wires.
3 Heat the shrink tube to make it shrink down around the wire. Also the type of metal used to make the wire may not be solderable its make from scrap metals. Conduction between the wires occurs through the metal insert and directly from wire to.
For low voltage applications fan out the copper strands and then twist them together. Extending the heat shrink about 12 to 1 passed the solder joint on both sides. 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.
Remove the insulation from both ends of the wires youll be soldering together. 2 Heat the joint with a soldering iron or pencil from underneath. The solder will flow to where the heat is wick or sweat soldering copper pipe is called sweating joints.
