Soldering wire by itself is a violation of the NEC article 250.8 (B) "Connection devices or fittings that depend solely on solder shall not be used". I am starting to use Wagos more and more, they cost a little more, but are more convenient and save a lot of time, especially working on something with short wires.
😅you don’t need to scrape the wires, when I had to fix my headphones the wires had a coating
Came here knowing nothing, now I feel like I can fix (almost) any broken wire I see. Thank you so much for all that concise and well delivered information!!!🔧
With all that effort, replacing the wire could be easier and cheaper.
An additional tip for the last method (solder and cover with shrink tube). If the application is where the splice might get wet (marine applications, trailers, exterior of cars & trucks, etc) you should use the shrink tube that has an internal lining of hot glue. When you heat the shrink tube the hot glue will also become liquid and then seal the splice from external elements. Because it is hot
Hey man, this is a bit irrelevant from the video, but when reading the shirt you have on, I think you may have made a bit of a typing mistake. You see, from what I'm getting from the shirt, doing a diy would be more time consuming and costly. It would be fixed if it said (For 1/3 x the cost and time) or (For half the cost and time)
The correct way is to "tin" each end of the wires prior to joining the wires. i.e. Heat up each end of the wires individually and put solder (soul dur) on. Then when you heat the 2 ends up as you bring them together. Voila (some French as well).
I have a GE General Electric soundbar that attaches to my laptop. I don't want to get rid of it. My dog chewed the wire and one speaker now doesn't work. I can't replace it as GE doesn't seem to make this portable speaker anymore. I've searched the net to find a place I can bring it to for repair. I figured there has to be someone that can do it. I've tried to do the repair myself but the wires are so thin I'm not having any luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm in TN but also live in NJ.
I used two small wire nuts and tightened the best I could. It was the flimsy multi wire cords from a lamp. I electric taped the heck over everything. Should there be any concerns???
idk you didnt show us forgetting to put the heat shrink on first XD
A few notes.
Just wait for the twist / no-twist crowd to see this video. I'm glad you cut the wire nut and exposed the cross-section with the wires inside. I enjoyed seeing all the connection options. 🙂
Twist, solder, heat shrink is the best option for signals and high current. Wago clips are the most convenient option.
This video has turned my passion back on into this part of electrical work. Thank you for the awesome video🔥
Nice video. Really appreciated the wire nut cross section and the detailed tutorial on soldering.
Thank you. Beginner- it really helped clarify.
I love your videos, your lessons and your ideas....thank you
Soldering and heat shrink all the way. Depends on the connector but I find soldering a crimp connection (like a ring terminal) seems to a good touch too, also with some heat shrink. Best of both worlds!
Wow, thank you so much for this. I fix power reclining furniture all the time and this was very helpful.
Great information. Thanks for posting!
