How To Solder Two Wires Together

To gather stray strands into the intermingled bundle.

How to solder two wires together. Jamb the two ends together so that the individual strands of each bundle intermingle. The solder should flow freely onto the wire and coat it if its stranded wire the solder should flow into it and fill the wire. Strip both wires back by 810 mm.

When soldering wires with a big diameter it is not easy to bend or twist them. Soldered joints are mechanically weak. This will heat the wire to allow your solder to melt.

Bring both stripped ends together like shown in the image below. Obviously these should not be connected to a power source at the time. This process should melt the solder and coat both wires evenly.

Tinning is the process of melting the solder around the wires. To tin a wire apply the tip of your iron to the wire for a second or two then apply the solder to the wire. There are multiple techniques for splicing wires without solder that result in a tight wrap including some that overlap the wires before twisting to give a larger overall spliced area.

The solder will flow to where the heat is wick or sweat soldering copper pipe is called sweating joints. The process for soldering 3 wires together is the same as splicing 2 4 or even 10 of them. When done properly you have a strong conductive connection that turns two separate wires into one.

Put a little solder on the tip of the iron to bridge the gap between the iron tip and the wires to be soldered. You can solder any metal objects together even wires to other wires. The process of soldering is taking two or more wires and joining them together and then using heat to melt electrical solder connecting those two wires permanently.
