Step 1 : Prepping Cable (Strip Cable Insulation)
Measure and remove outer jacket per drawing specifications, using cable strippers.
Avoid cable damage by stripping slightly smaller than the wire diameter. After
cable has been stripped, dip the end of the cable wire in flux (lead free).
Step 3 : Tin the Tip
“Tinning”,
when you put a light layer of solder over another piece of metal
.
Holding the solder (lead free) in one hand and the iron in the other, briefly touch
the solder to both sides of the tip. “Tinning” improves conductivity and make
soldering easier, as well as quicker.
Step 4 : Applying the Solder
Now that the tip is properly tinned and the cable wire is prepared. Hold your iron
and solder on opposite sides of the cable wire. Apply solder (lead free) into
contact,
heat the sides to allow solder to flow to the bottom of the contact. Insert
cable wire into contact once solder melts. It is important that you hold everything
very steady until solder begins to flow. After soldering one or two connections,
clean and re-tin the tip. Soldering must be done quickly, since you can melt the
cable insulation. Apply heat shrink on every single conductor to prevent solder
bridges between contacts.
Slide securing devices forward and tighten using connector pliers. Connector holding tools are
recommended while tightening back accessories.
Soldering Work Instructions
Soldering is the process in which two or more products are joined together by melting and flowing a filler (solder) into the
joint, adhering to the standards specified in IPC/WHMA-A-620B. The filter (solder) having a lower melting point than the
adjoining metals(s).
Step 2 : Prepping the Iron (Cleaning the Tip)
Plug in the iron and turn it on. Soak sponge with water, sponge is used to clean the
solder off the tip of soldering iron. Adjust the temperature on the iron dial to 750
degrees (75 on dial). Once the Iron is hot, wipe both sides of the soldering tip on
the sponge. This will remove old solder from the tip.
