Hi Graham, Like Jerry I've never done it but I remember seeing someone solder very large wire into a very large terminal with a small torch. I don't recall anything more than that but I might lead you in a direction (kicking and screaming :-) KennyB -----Original Message----- From: Jerry Dengler [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2008 9:49 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] Wire Harness question - soldering 0 AWG wire? Hi Graham, I've never done this myself but watched it being done at a customers site. The had to make a holder for the connector that had a temperature controlled heater in it. I believe they used a 50 watt iron.

Hello TechNet I've been dragged (kicking and screaming) out of my comfort zone, and am looking at a wire harness. I've got some 0 awg wire to solder into a connector. We haven't tried it, but I really doubt that my Metcal MX-500 system is up to this task. Do any of you have experience with this, and if so can you recommend equipment or technique? regards, Graham Collins Halifax Production Engineering (902) 873-2000 ext. 6215 --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 15.0 To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-615-7100 ext.2815 ----------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 15.0 To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-615-7100 ext.2815 ----------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 15.0 To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-615-7100 ext.2815 -----------------------------------------------------
