How To Make Soldering Wire
Touch the tip of the solder to the tip of the soldering iron to create a small pool of liquid solder on the irons tip.
How to make soldering wire. This type of terminal barrel lends much better to crimp-then-solder than do pre-insulated terminals. Outer diameter of single core wire. The process also helps in the distribution of heat evenly throughout the wire.
Using the soldering gun heat the wiring up enough to melt the solder and gently apply the soldering to the wire with the soldering gun touching the wire. We clean the soldering tip and we place the components one by one so I will solder this IC socket which has 16 pins. It will wick up the wires under the insulation and slowly eat the copper away.
At worst try RA Rosin Active flux. It helps to start the heat transfer by dabbing the solder at the point where the iron and wires meet then move the solder. Tinning is the process of melting the solder around the wires.
I have tried to get the solder to attach to the wire with and without flux but no luck. Diameter of copper core. The wires can then be situated together by further twisting them blending them end to end or wrapping one around the other for a splice.
If you are soldering a USB30 external header make sure you leave this copper wire intact you will use it later on. These are the wires Im using. Do NOT use acid flux.
Make sure your soldering iron is fully heated and touch the tip to the end of one of the wires. Hold the two tinned wires on top of each other and touch the soldering iron to both wires. You should not apply too much solder.
