Soldering device
Convenient and easy fitting
soldering is the best wire connection method. More efficient methods have not yet been invented. However, there are several disadvantages - the difficulty of using soldering due to limited space and the lack of electricity for soldering iron. This is all easily solved if we use our tool.
What is needed to make
Device for soldering twists
For the manufacture of many components will not be needed:
- gas-burner
- large paper clip
- threaded stud
- copper lug for cable
- nuts for stud - 4 pcs
Also, for work, you need to purchase POS-61 low-melting solder and any liquid flux for non-ferrous metals.
Assembling the soldering tool
Paper clip needs to be drilled
- The basis for the product will be a bolt stud about 15-20 cm long
- A copper sleeve for the cable is attached to one end of the stud using two nuts.
- On the second, a clerical clothespin is installed in a similar way. The clip at the base is drilled to match the diameter of the stud
- The hairpin is bent at 90 ° so that the top edge of the clothespin is flush with the top edge of the copper sleeve.
All dimensions are approximate since the elements used for the design may differ.

The use of soldering in electrical wiring repair
For soldering twists, you need low-melting solder. POS-61 is suitable for this purpose - it is a solder containing 61% tin, and melting at a temperature of 180-190 ° C. It has increased fluidity.
You will also need a flux. For example, LTI-120.
Stage number 1 - tool preparation
Filling the container with solder
First of all, you need to fill the copper sleeve with solder - fill it to the top.
We fix the fixture on the gas burner
Open the clerical clothespin and place the nozzle of the gas burner in it.
Stage number 2 - soldering twists
We dip the scraps into a container with flux
We apply to the twisting of wires liquid flux.
We melt solder POS-61
We light the gas burner. We are waiting for the solder to melt. This will take no more than 1 minute.
Attention! Heat!
We dip the flux-treated twist into a container with solder. Hold for 3-5 seconds.
soldering process completed
Carefully remove the twisted wires from the sleeve with molten solder. We turn off the burner.

Conclusion
Solder spread evenly over all surfaces of twisted wires
As you can see for yourself, there is nothing complicated. Soldering is very fast the whole procedure took no more than 2 minutes, and the result of the work turned out to be no worse than when using an electric soldering iron.
