A benefit with induction coils, which I mentioned earlier, is that only the object for soldering will be heated (seconds) and nothing more. And the shape doesn't matter, only it's metal. I agree with the guy who mentioned crimping. Noone in the power electric industri would think of soldering today! Maybe brazing, but not soft soldering.

Seek information on resistance tweezers soldering systems. American Beauty makes different sizes. If I can find ours, I will send what the model number we use. We have to solder large cups, lugs etc for use in the Bradley Vehicles and M1A1 tanks to connect to batteries.

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 ----------------------------------------------------- This communication is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain business confidential and/or legally privileged information.
