How To Solder Wires At Home

Tin coat with solder the soldering tip first.

How to solder wires at home. The wires will begin to heat up. Set the iron to the solders temperature range. The easiest way to solder with a soldering iron is to twist the wires together and heat them directly.

Hold the two tinned wires on top of each other and touch the soldering iron to both wires. Wrap one or two inches of solder around the tip while the iron is cold. Too much or too little flux will cause problems with the solder attaching to the parts.

If playback doesnt begin shortly try restarting your device. The advantage of solder is that it may be easily. The best way to splice wires is to wrap them together tightly using multiple twists to ensure maximum contact between the two wire sections.

Remove the soldering iron and allow the soldered connection to cool and harden for a few seconds. If possible try to open earphone casing using blade. Repeat this process on the other wire.

Note that the wire will get hot so you should consider holding it with some tweezers or similar. If you want you can add soldering resin to the wire filaments. When you are tinning the wires the resin will help the solder flow smoothly.

This process should melt the solder and coat both wires evenly. Place the tip of the iron on the wire and let it heat for a few seconds. The one place I find solder not allowed on ground wires on heavy duty pin and sleeve connectors is the ground pin the ungrounded conductors are soldered and the ground is clamped funny because this is also the failure point in most of these cords but twisted and soldered connections are legal but normally only seen in knob and tube wiring.
