It's ubiquitous at festivals such as Burning Man, where people create towering structures adorned with colorful strands soldered together. World-renowned lighting artist Marcus Tremento uses EL wire as a means to blend modern design and art. EL wire also has a decorative safety function when it...
Insulation: One of the most obvious applications for heatshink sleeving is to act as an insulator to protect bare wires and solder connections from touching and shorting. Identification: Using coloured sleeves is a very easy way of identifying wires - having a short coloured section at eithe...
Note: At this point, it is possible to unsolder the two wires coming from the playfield wiring harness to the coil and remove the entire flipper assembly. This makes it much easier to rebuild the flippers. If doing so, take photos to insure that these two wires are soldered to the sam...
You can outsource almost any job, but some things you need to know how to do yourself. Explore our master list of life’s essential skills, with step-by-step tips from experts.
(as some people will recommend) will have no effect on the corrosion resistance of the joint as there will be no space for the solder to enter. Ultimately the crimp process aims to deform the wire and crimp to a preset level, to eliminate the spaces as well as cold work the wire to ...
The only thing left to do at this point is to add the connectors, unless you did that before you soldered the wires on, which I actually recommend doing. But of course I didn’t do that, so I added them at this step, being careful not to short them by connecting only one wire at...

Solder the incoming side of the LED strip to the wires just routed around the corner from the previous strip. The adhesive backing can then be removed on this strip, some glue applied to the white LED mount and the strip fitted ontop. ...
I moved on with installing the micro switch for this joint. Before securing it in place, I already soldered the wires to it, as it’s a bit tight here to do that after. We need a 20mm M3 bolts and a nut to secure the micro switch in place. ...
ThermistorPlease do not invent your own temperature control system. The industry standard thermistor is NTC 10K at 25°C and B=3950. Pack assemblySolder versus WeldMost battery packs are spot welded together using nickel strip for contacts. Soldering directly to the cells is dangerous for the cel...
