Do/Don't? Soldering Wire Tips Before Sticking into Terminal Block

Stranded wires under screw type terminations are not EVER recommended.

That is what ring lugs are for.

I'll say.

insulation=20

wire,=20

Many people here would more likely be talking pb63, sn35, ag2 rather than= braze=20 material.

Not that i have heard of. What i am seeing is terminal blocks, switches,= =20 and other wiring devices that are rated for use with stranded wire.

=20

that'll=20

Unfortuantely. That stuff is properly called silver-*bearing* solder, and is a regular soft solder.

Since you do not like JL's description how about threadwards? It=20 goes around the screw the same direction the screw goes into the=20 terminal.

No one in the electronics industry tins wires with silver solder (or braze for that matter)

In other words, yet more utter stupidity.

Not that your petty experiences would have you ever experiencing the industry correctly.

Ah, that's good. Still has ties to CW but it's different enough to force people to think about it -- instead of blindly assuming they know what it means. I am always amazed at how often I see people doing this "the wrong way" -- even folks who *should* know better (EE's, electricians, etc.)

I know that IBM didn't let us do it when we were sub'ing work from them. IME, that usually meant there was wither some written standard (that they were complying with) *or* they had determined (not just opined) that it was A Bad Thing.

In the early 1970's I saw same badly molten mains plugs that had used soldered stranded wires and a short circuit had occurred on the load side.

After that, I have never used soldered stranded wires in situations, in which large currents could (e.g. in a failure situation) flow through the wire. Apparently some mains wiring standards are against using solder for this reason too.

For small current conductors, the main problem is the transition between the soldered and non-soldered part of the wire if there is some wire movement e.g. due to vibration.

You *do* realize many of these are the same idiot ^H^H^H individual? (at least my filter claims they are)

Solder creep occurs regardless of the current involved in the circuit, ya dopey ditz.

You really are not all that bright, you dumb fucktard.

When are you going to issue the challenge to post past your retarded filters, BOY?

Oh... that's right.. You know that I would succeed! And it would be

100% legal too! MY HOOKS. You wouldn't even catch it. I could post for a week, and then whop you upside your fat head with it again.

The fact is that NONE of my nyms make ANY attempt at hiding my identity. So all the "troll" retards, and all the "nymshift" claiming retards can kiss my 100% legitimate ass.

Sure, they're undies from Nymbecile's mommy's hamper. That was Michael's point.

*All* of them are 'Nymnuts' sockpupets.

I can't believe it... You left out SkyBuck. !! :)

Then again, maybe SkyBuck doesn't exactly, neatly fit the definition of a dolt or an idiot. He's might just be a psych-ward/mental patient who sometimes gets well enough to go out on weekends. You kind of feel sorry for him after a while...
