Help in soldering deans.

[ChRiS]

hi ppl,

anyone knows of any hobby shop that does soldering job( deans on batt) for a fee?





ps: im not sure if im in the correct section. if im not moderators plz shift to the correct one. sorry

Try JH, dun say i ask u go one hor hehehe.............
Why dun try DIY? Next time no need rely on others liao very easy one.

Some steps i follow:
1) Strip the wire
2) cut and put the shrink tube (2cm) through the wire
3) Hold the Deans in place, melt some solder on it
4) coat the wire with solder too.
5) With the Iron on the Wire and solder melting, put it on the deans connection point, it shld melt the solder on the dean and join the wire in place.
6) push the shrink tube near the deans and use a lighter to shrink it.
7) repeat the other end.

yup, that was pretty much wat i tried last nite. i watched finless video on it and tot i could. But sadly... didnt come out rite... in the end the metal plate on the deans went loose as the plastic ard it melt

anyway thnkx for the tip. i'll go down tmr to get it done. =)

Hi,
What power rating of the soldering tool did you use? It should be at least 50-60W to ensure that the melted solder lead flows easily unto the wire and the metal of the connector. Otherwise, it would take you a long time to melt the lead and connect the wire and connector metel rigidly, hence melting the plastic of the deans in the process.

haha.. u remind me of myself...

for the first tried.. i took more than 1 hr.. yes it very frustrating... thot of want to give up.. but once u get it right.. altho not perfect.. the feeling is great..
sometimes u solder swee swee.. but the shrink tube cannot cover because the solder is too big...

but now i can solder them in 30 min...

Get a high power Iron, mine is 60/200W, on button it's 200W. So it melt very fast and set nicely.

I had bad experience wit soldering too till i change da solder alloy (mayb different mixture of tin & lead). Get those in da packet, not tube roll. I think for your case is that the alloy melting temp is too high thus melts da plastic deans 1st. A good mixture of ard tin 60% n lead 40% should melt da alloy in seconds. Also make sure ur iron tip is clean inbetween da process. U can use damp sponge to clean da tip.

Hope it helps, tankz...

ar yes but not recommended for beginners, bcos they'll melt da deans b4 da solder alloy aKRekeke...

try dipping the wire and dean ends with flux. it flashes upon heating and makes soldering much easier. it's only a couple of dollars at DIY shops.

30W is more than enough depending on the type of solder you use. Some solders come with high silver contents that has less resistance to currents. Melt some solder onto the tip of the soldering iron first then position the melted solder onto the copper tab of the plug then feed more solder in between the copper tab and the soldering iron's tip. Do this within 5s if not your plug plastic will melt.

W is how long it can hold the "heat" .. thus, the higher the watt does not mean the hotter the iron is

Hi Bro,
Have you seen this video?
I solder all me deans in this similar manner, so far, so good.

hi ppl,

juz to add. JH has stop soldering services.

Anyway thnkx for all ur advices. i'll learn with easy tasks first ( not on expensive batts ) haha. In the end i got it done with the help of a fren.
yup so its done and charging for the first time now.

Once again thnkx people
