How To Solder Copper Wires Together

Youll get a straight wire that has a little sideways bump in it so get a larger shrink tube to isolate it youll need two times the diameter of one wire.

How to solder copper wires together. Cleanliness is a must for good solder joints. First place the solder on the tip to allow for melting. If the wire is stranded twist the strands together with your fingers.

Wait until the solder has melted and filled the space then move the flame away and blow on the solder. Apply the solderless copper bonding to the pipe. This will heat the wire to allow your solder to melt.

Place soldering iron under the wire. Make seven or eight turns and cut the excess of the wire. After tinning the heads of both header and wire put them together.

Apply the tip of the soldering iron to the wet sponge to make the tip clean. Lay them together overlapping at the soldered part then blob them together. Now we will bring the hot iron tip to this joint to melt the metal a little bit.

Touch the solder to the pipe. In this way we will solder both tips together to strengthen the bond. Begin by removing the insulation from the ends of both wires you are soldering together.

Move it around the parts where you are going to place the solder afterwards. The challenge is holding the wires in place long enough for the solder to cure. Begin by laying out all the items containing copper wire that you wish to solder.
