whitedevil Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Hello,I need to fit a new connector on my stator, i have the connector and 3 new clips to crimp and solder onto the wires.What i need to know is, what type of solder is going to be best to use on this connection as its going to get quite hot and probably alot of vibration too.Do i use lead solder, lead free or silver? Do i just get the stuff with flux/rosin core or is it best to get seperate flux and add it before i solder?thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1NJA Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Just use lead free standard solder, it should be o.k with the temperatures its going to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin the Bear Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Clean everything thoroughly. Tin both parts then hold together with heat. Solder will only run where flux is. For small electrical jobs the stuff with the flux core in it is easiest. Remember it's a glue not an overcoat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rymez2K Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I also put a bit of heat shrink tubing round the joint after soldering.Holds the joint together nicely and seals it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
