crossover conductivity problem - Page 2

REALFLEO · 2nd January 2007, 05:06 PM

HEY !!!! Good news guys ! You were right v-bro the problem was with that varnish on wires !

But now I'm wondering how to remove the varnish from bigger coils that are made of multiple wires.

It doen't work with my solder iron. Maybe because it's a 15Watt should I buy a 25 watt ?

Thanks,

REALFLEO

I use a 60 watt with a 2-3mm flat tip - a bit hot for small parts but very good fore the heavy stuff

You can also scrape the enamel off with a knife.

I overlooked in the beginning that it was litz wire inductors

Its clear by now that its not well suited fore beginners

Even if it seeems like working ok, it could easily lead to malfunktion if only some of the wires have proper connection

You can try Micro Jet Torch from Canadian Tire.

just heat the leads well with a solder iron or jet burner

That's probably the same thing I always use for the heavier work....I even have a heavy one that I used to do some plumbing with....

They work like a charm, makes even the largest objects easy to solder and it is instantly hot...

Thanks everybody for you help.
