I solder XLR connectors all the time, with cup terminals, making and repairing cables, and at no time did it ever occur to me to twist my solder together and fill the cup first with solid solder. I would heat the cup and fill ti with solder, then put the tinned lead in, requiring a single long heating, or two heatings. This method requires only one heating, and is much quicker. Brilliant.

Same. I've melted quite a few XLR and other cup terminal connectors early on in my soldering days because I applied too much heat for too long trying to get the wires in. I got better but I still haven't heard of this "pre-form" method until now. So much faster, cleaner and efficient that I'm surprised it's not talked about more often.

These tutorials improved my soldering skills 10 fold.

Wow, I've been soldering cup terminals for a while now and never knew about the solder pre-form technique. Great tip.

NASA and others used this method called resistance soldering to avoid the soldering iron heater from burning adjacent wire insolation in a cable harness connector and prevent solder flowing out of the cup. In resistance soldering with a pre-tinned wire and fresh flux core solder pre-form is acceptable for reflowing solder on pre tinned wire to form a continuous piece of metal. Instead of twisting solder for fit in cup try a gage of solder that fits.

Oh god, this is bringing back nightmares of my E&E work. I loathe solder cups. I wish someone taught me that nifty trick with the solder twisting action. But QA would have probably written me up because it's not per the TO.

I've had issues soldering to cup terminals as they're what xt60 and xt30 connectors use. I never thought about using a preform before. Thanks!

Love this vid!

tnx po sa upload...

Thanks for this!

I agree! I taught soldering but explaing process is difficult. Thank God this wasn't tossed away.

It's fine, because the wire is pre-tinned. When the wire is dipped into the molten solder the solder on the wire melts and mingles with the solder in the solder pool. This creates a welded joint between the two parts. No additional flux is needed to make this into a good joint. After the joint cools there is a continuous phase transition between the wire, the solder and the cup. No "gaps" or discontinuous transitions exist.

Old w126 era Mercedes use molex connectors with terminal cups but with wires going into the side. Thanks for tutorial

I think I will try this technique next time I solder some XT60 for my racing drone. With some very cheap XT60 I had the issue that the plastic would get too soft during soldering, maybe this will prevent that.

Extra flux can be required, if you leave the solder hot for to long, because even solder can start to make oxides and this can make an instable joint. Happende to me several times, when I did not add flux.

What temperature you would say is the recommended to solder a QX16 connector (or a typical one)

Check 2M China Lake Spec. Sounds like advanced electronics. Call experts at Pace or contact our associated training companies. Best Marc Siegel

60 watt soldering iron . Great for indoor or outdoor use. Low wattage irons tend to Cool to rapidly outside . Soldering tiny circuits is usually done indoors with no wind 30 watts? while a 60 watt or better would be great in both applications

For irons with thermostats (normally called "soldering stations"), more watts means better stability of temperature. 936 irons have a typical maximum power of 60 watts. Irons with T12 or compatible working tips have a maximum power of 70 watts. Some induction-heating irons can heat really fast at over 150W power.

best video for beginers

"Determining how much solder to use is done experimentally". OR subtract (from the cup's area) the wire's area, and you'll know how much solder area to use.

This one ☝🏾 good

1:00 why not vaporize? After the wire is set, flux is not needed anymore

it is so interessting that i have to watch them all hahah ( I hope that there won't be like 100 episodes hahaha )

I don't agree with this one. I'm definitely not a fan of shoving pre-tinned wires into molten solder, waiting for it to melt together then hoping for the best. These cup terminals (which I love, don't see them much anymore) should be pre-fluxed (maybe) and same with the wires. The wires should be inserted, and the solder applied to the assembly like any other good connection. TBH, pre-fluxing is not necessary either. Their foot operated soldering station and stripper are nice, but I work in field service. I'm not about to start carting all that around the country. I do need to find good tools for travel though.

nice! after watching this video i've just realized i soldered wrong on the db9,25,44 for years. i need to fill the cup before putting in the cable!

@kenmore01

No, don't!

@sbdem1986 I don't think just because the wire is cold, it is a cold joint. The point is that you want to melt the solder on the not-recently-tinned surface so the flux can clean it. If the wire was recently tinned, it won't have any oxides, etc. on the outside so there is no need for flux to clean it. Therefore, I think their method is okay. However, I really don't know for sure.

FROM WHERE CAN WE GET YOUR TOOLS?PACE?

Good Question. Marc Siegel.

I don't like trying to stab the wire into the connector while heating the solder. I prefer to insert the tinned wire into the connector first, heat the wire and connector until they will melt solder, and then feed solder until the cup is filled. When I stop feeding solder, I pull the iron away within a second or two. I use a fixture to hold the wire still so that I can use both hands to solder. Trying to hold the wire steady with your fingers until it cools often results in a cold solder joint.

That's the method I'd prefer as well. I wouldn't leave the large gap of insulation shown in the video, since having it closer to the cup provides additional strain relief. Maybe they were concerned about their low temperature insulation melting under the heat.

Why so much insulation gap, I would think you would want it flush with the rim of the cup?

@maxabeles

2 жыл бұрын

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe because if it was totally flush you run the risk of not having enough tinned lead to fill the cup?

@wingerrrrrrrrr

2 жыл бұрын

I'd put it against the rim to provide the benefit of additional strain relief, but it would take more time to make sure it's not too short for the wire to extend to the bottom of the cup. Didn't look like they were too concerned about the precise length of the stripped wire, just mentioning some kind of minimum gap distance for the insulation. It didn't say what it should be or why. Maybe the concern is the idea that squared off edge of solder against cut insulation can cause more stress then a smooth filet of solder.

Pace.... Got a question for you. If i apply this technique of inserting wire into molten solder, dont you think it will create solder splashes and with all wires in the cups for lets say a 52 cup connector, it will be very difficult to clear the solder splashes and may lead to internal shorting. Can you explain how this can be avoided?

@mluca1221

8 жыл бұрын

+Mandeep Singh Have you tried this technique? If done properly, with the right amount of solder and heat, the solder doesn't want to splash anywhere

At 1:22 how does the iron not leave a big glob of solder on the outside of the connection? It kinda seems like it does...maybe it wouldn't matter in this situation, but what if it does? The cup terminals I'm soldering, for XT150 connectors, have a cover that snaps into place around the base of the wire. If I pre-tin my iron and touch it to the side of the cup to heat it and insert the wire, it leaves a glob on the outside of the cup which then prevents the connector housing from being able to snap into place. Anyone have any suggestions?

Tin one side of the iron and put the clean side on the cup, or use an exacto or razor blade to make it a thin film on the back!

what is 'sodder' ?

What's that clamp thing called...I want it. Also, I tried this today with some cup terminals and it did not go as smooth as this video leads you to believe. I held the iron to the cup just like the video and the cup melted the plastic around it before it heated the solder I put in the cup. A technique that worked a little better was to put the wire in the cup, then heat the wire and apply solder.

Never knew such a tool even existed, looks handy! (Also didn't know about that pre-form technique)

or, just grow a third arm, so one hand holds the wire in the cup, another the soldering iron and the third applies the soLder. - I've often said techs need a third arm for soldering. And this is after a few days of making small looms that include hermetically sealed Mil-C connectors with solder cups that are surrounded/sunk into a connector body so very difficult to access with soldering iron tip. - and wires with insulation that melts too, easier with Teflon sheaths. -- much prefer Mil-C connectors with removable pins, that are crimped and then inserted! Not sure if the 'solder-preform' would be recommended nowadays, especially for high reliability aerospace applications. - It is essentially the same as pre-tinning the cup, you could also pre-tin the wire end, and nowadays gel-flux is available so insert tinned wire into tinned cup with a little gel-flux, and apply iron _may_ work in some applications.
