How To Solder 2 Thin Wires Together

Sidecutter jaws have 2 sides relative to the cutting line.

How to solder 2 thin wires together. Use a thin solid wire 28 AWG-30 AWG and wrap it around both wires. Works 9 times out of 10 and only takes a min to do with no stress. Youll also need some PVC shrink tube.

For stranded wire take 13 of strands of each and winds around other wires 23. You should cover all of the wires with solder but still be able to see the strands when finished. This also ensures that all of the wires are making an electrical connection.

One of good ways to solder 2 wires is tin to both wires first and then put them next together melt the solder from one of them and they will stick together easily. I always bend both wires at 90 degrees and twist them together not only is the solder holding them together but also the mechanical connection between the wires. Use nothing but 60-40 rosin-core solder intended for electrical wiring.

This can be done in just a few seconds and. Soldering is the process of using a melted filler metal. 2 pieces of very fine stripped wire lay alongside each one ends laying together a microdot of hotmelt glue on the ends and then when cool gives something to twist between fingers then coat with more hotmelt as insulation.

The most secure and durable way to splice two wires together is to solder them. Apply a small amount of solder flux. Solder with shrink wrap.

Finally just apply solder thats on the tip of your soldering iron and you will have a nice joint. Jan 29 2009 at 1224 AM Post 3 of 23. Sold in the electronics department.
