The company I work for wants to use DLO/RHH flexible wire ( very similar to welding wire) in the electric control panels we build. The UL inspector has informed me that in order to do so we have to tin the ends of the wire (AWG 1/0 and larger) he said that some of the panel shops he covers use a solder pot to tin the wire. I contacted Kester and inquired about the best solder and method to use. The engineer that replied suggested I contact IPC forum and inquire. So here is my question. What is the recommended solder and if needed flux to use to tin the ends of this flexible wire? Douglas Minniear Lewis and Clark Machine P.O. Box 615 501 Lottery Ln.
