How To Solder Very Small Wires
I just did exactly this the other day - these LED strips are neat.
How to solder very small wires. Apply a small amount of solder flux. Begin by removing the insulation from the ends of both wires you are soldering together. It took 6 hours to get everything prepared put into position solder and then test it.
You can buy hot wire strippers that essentially do just this. Even a few wires can take a lot of time. If its Teflon I accomplish the same skinning action by running a razor flat on the wire.
Make seven or eight turns and cut the excess of the wire. After stripping the wires and attempting to twist them together I clamp. Tin the wire.
Clean the tip then tin the wire. Compare Pricing Distributors Save. To make things a bit easier I chose to start from the centre of the board outwards and.
Then place the wire on top of the cool solder and use the soldering iron to melt it all together. Make sure your soldering iron is fully heated and touch the tip to the end of one of the wires. If you were here I could have it done for you in a few minutes but we all need to learn.
Repeat this process on. Theyll have a small hole where you insert the wire and they melt the insulation away. Very thin like a hair enamel coated wire works when using a reasonably small soldering tip.
