Suitable flux according to one of the following standards:
−
DIN EN 29454, part 1, category 1.1.3 or 1.2.3
−
ANSI J-STD-004, flux type ROL0
Suitable cable tools
Soldering stranded wires to a piezo actuator (only models without stranded wires)
1.
Prepare the stranded wire according to the following illustrations:
Twisting
Tinning
Shortening to 2 mm
2.
Apply the flux to the tinned end of the wire and the intended soldering point of the
electrode.
3.
Hold the stranded wire flat with the tinned end on the soldering point.
4.
Coat the tip of the soldering iron with a small amount of solder.
5.
Hold the tip of the soldering iron at the soldering point on the tinned end of the
stranded wire for a maximum of 1 to 2 seconds so that the solder flows and a flat or
point-shaped solder connection results after soldering.

6.
Repeat steps 1 to 5 for the second stranded wire.
7.
Remove flux residue according to the instructions in the section
"Cleaning the P-88x/P-08x" (p. 41).
8.
Place suitable shrink tubing on the solder connection to ensure strain relief of the
stranded wires.
