Does coating stranded copper wire with solder cause any issues or break any codes?
"Pop" wrote in message news:HrwFf.1418$r53.416@trndny03... ... : : Otherwise, you aren't any better than anyone else, and particularly : not any better than anyone you deride here. Well, I dunno 'bout that: if you're included, then he's certainly better than you, that's a given. Fuchsy is a closed mind with a large bowel, I'm afraid. Nuff said well ...maybe Fuchsie is a closed mind etc... or maybe he is a romex wiring house type electrician... there are about 200 of those for everyone doing industrial contols and automation (where soldering stranded ends is pervasively common). So...we get on the ng, this 200 to 1 ratio of insightability. Im sure Roy will respond appropriately to my posts on the topic... gentleman that he is, and realizing that the way to become an idiot is to defend ones current position... As a consulting engineer the first thing I tell my clients is that they know more about their situation in many aspects than I do, and that I will be learning from them and formatting much or most of my recommendations based on what they know and have learned about their systems.. that works...and I am not then immune to learning myself. .. In corrosive environments, stranded wire will corrode into the crimmped terminal and around the wire, insulating the wire from the terminal slightly causing it to burn, then fail.. thats common. Accordingly battery cable manufacturers most often solder their wire into the crimped terminal ends. This practice is seen pervasively in marine environments on both low amperage control circuits, and on power circuits. Use of solder on power circuit terminals however has many problems, namely the solder melting out of the joint if the wire warms too much...and extrusion of the solder under compressive stress if screw connectors are used.. the military specs some are referring to cover that aspect... but not the other aspects. Use of solder in an already crimped terminal serves to increase the electrical contact area, thats good, and to preclude corrosive gases, vapors and oils from the joint (by wicking up the bare wire).... that is seen commonly be the cause of failure in those situations. For the last 100 years... and currently.... most if not all controls systems and component manufacturers dip wire ends in solder that are to be fit under screw head connectors... the practice is at least 90% common.... thats with *control circuits. The practice is not common with power circuits for the reasons mentioned but is still seen in some situations (primarily corrosive environments... anyone can purchase NEC approved soldered connectors of course for those purposes... those are also pervasively common, especially in the electronics industry.) .. 220,000 hits... lots of good articles on the first page. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...=Google+Search There is a time and a place to solder crimped or non crimped terminals and bare wire ends to be fit under a screw head.... and a time when that is not a good idea (hot running situations, although Ive seen pure silver or brassed connections in those locations) Phil Scott Mechanical/ Electrical engineer and industrial controls contractor since 1852 (I'm very old) |

Does coating stranded copper wire with solder cause any issues or break any codes?
On Fri, 10 Feb 2006 12:50:22 -0800, "Phil Scott"
Gave us: "not i" wrote in message .. . On Thu, 02 Feb 2006 22:56:25 GMT, "Toller" wrote: "Roy L. Fuchs" wrote in message ... On Thu, 02 Feb 2006 11:55:00 -0600, Bud-- Gave us: The question I asked was for a single tinned stranded wire in a pressure connection. Stranded wire in a pressure connection cannot be soldered. I am not doubting you, but can you give a reference for that? (I always crimp fitting on stranded, but was unaware of this prohibition...) This is from The Canadian Electrical Code Rule 12-112 Conductor joints and splices (1) Unless made with solderless wire connectors,joints or spices in insulated conductors shall be soldered, but they shall first be made mechanically and electrically secure. Rule 12-116 Termination of conductors (1) The portion of stranded conductors to be held by wire-binding terminals or solderless wire connectors shall have the strands confined so that there will be no stray strands to cause either short-circuits or grounds. My Interpretation : Solder could be used to confine the strands! Not only correct but the only way to go in many cases... it seems most on the NG are house wiring guys and applying NEC as they see it in homes etc...but not of course in the industrial markets. What a silly thing to say. . In corrosive environments, stranded wire will corrode into the crimmped terminal and around the wire, insulating the wire from the terminal slightly causing it to burn, then fail.. thats common. Not true. In corrosive environments (like your marine scenario) standard non-gas tight connectors are not spec'd. If they are used, they will corrode. A gas tight connector must be used, and that too, would NOT require any solder. Accordingly battery cable manufacturers most often solder their wire into the crimped terminal ends. The huge crimped terminal on a commercial battery cable is NOT a gsa tight termination. What does get used gets soldered because that is the only way they can give the termination SOME life span. This practice is seen pervasively in marine environments on both low amperage control circuits, and on power circuits. Yet not seen in ANY marine environment where the proper fittings are used. Most consumer level crap won't have such overtly expensive hardware in it, hence the "workaround", with solder. Use of solder on power circuit terminals however has many problems, namely the solder melting out of the joint if the wire warms too much... If the wire warms to the melt point temperature of solder, then there is a much larger underlying problem with the circuit or the wiring design. NO circuit wiring should EVER rise to that temperature in ANY non fault mode of operation. EVER. and extrusion of the solder under compressive stress if screw connectors are used.. It is not referred to as extrusion, it is called CREEP. the military specs some are referring to cover that aspect... but not the other aspects. The military were the inventors of the gas tight crimped connection. Use of solder in an already crimped terminal serves to increase the electrical contact area, thats good, and to preclude corrosive gases, vapors and oils from the joint (by wicking up the bare wire).... that is seen commonly be the cause of failure in those situations. If the connection is gas tight, it will be vapor and liquid tight as well. If it is not made using gas tight methods, then it is open to a host of problems. Many of which solder still does not fix or address. For the last 100 years... and currently.... most if not all controls systems and component manufacturers dip wire ends in solder that are to be fit under screw head connectors... the practice is at least 90% common.... thats with *control circuits. It varies from product producer to product producer as some of them conform tightly to proper manufacturing specs and some do not. That doesn't make those that do not "most if not all". The practice is not common with power circuits for the reasons mentioned but is still seen in some situations (primarily corrosive environments... anyone can purchase NEC approved soldered connectors of course for those purposes... those are also pervasively common, especially in the electronics industry.) None of those will be crimp style connectors. It is either a solder terminal or a crimp terminal... not both. |

On Fri, 10 Feb 2006 12:56:19 -0800, "Phil Scott"
Gave us: Correct...you do not solder wire before it goes into a crimped connector...but you do after it goes into a solder socket connector and there are crimped connectors made to be soldered as well of course. Nope. There are solder cup connectors that DO get soldered, and there are crimp type connectors. Find ONE crimp style connector that is meant, by design to be soldered. CITE! |

On Thu, 09 Feb 2006 22:01:25 GMT, "Pop" Gave us: You, along with several others have taken a good question asked by one who only needed a simple but reliable answer and have turned it into a crapfest of who knows what about what, and very few of the comments have had any real basis in fact, let along related to the OP's quest. You are one lost mother ****er, boy. There have been several posts which are based on FACT. Just not many if not any of yours. You deride him for his comments on the military, but you essentially said the same thing with your "open to interpretation" post. It was from that point on that YOU discontinued actually speaking on the topic, and started acting like a ****ing wussy. Go back and read the posts. There are many that have it right, and many that have it wrong, and in case you are still lost, this group is for exactly what you claim we are all doing wrong. Usenet is a crapfest and that is why your lame ass is in the barrel. And the thread is NOT off topic, dip****. I'll say it again. Crimped on, compression style connectors should NOT be soldered. Not after the connector is crimped on, nor the wire before it is inserted. Sometimes they should be soldered after they are crimped. Call AMP or MOLEX and they'll explain it to your ass as well. You seem to think no one in the groups here know what they are talking about. You're a goddamned loser if you think you can get away with that baby bull****. |

Use of solder in an already crimped terminal serves to increase the electrical contact area, thats good, and to preclude corrosive gases, vapors and oils from the joint (by wicking up the bare wire).... that is seen commonly be the cause of failure in those situations. For the last 100 years... and currently.... most if not all controls systems and component manufacturers dip wire ends in solder that are to be fit under screw head connectors... the practice is at least 90% common.... thats with *control circuits. The practice is not common with power circuits for the reasons mentioned but is still seen in some situations (primarily corrosive environments... anyone can purchase NEC approved soldered connectors of course for those purposes... those are also pervasively common, especially in the electronics industry.) I totally agree with you, however Roy Boy does not. Roy has some other issues going on.. some who do only houses, with romex etc are unaware of the high end issues. that seems to be his situation. With the kind of approach Roy shows to life he wouldnt do well in the high end markets... if he cleaned that up though and studies some, he could probably double his wage by learning something about controls and industrial applications. Phil Scott . 220,000 hits... lots of good articles on the first page. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...=Google+Search There is a time and a place to solder crimped or non crimped terminals and bare wire ends to be fit under a screw head.... and a time when that is not a good idea (hot running situations, although Ive seen pure silver or brassed connections in those locations) Phil Scott Mechanical/ Electrical engineer and industrial controls contractor since 1852 (I'm very old) |

Does coating stranded copper wire with solder cause any issues or break any codes?
Hey Roy... the money is on the professional end of the market... professional behavior will get you there... here in SF a good controls electrician can earn 80 dollars an hour... a house wiring guy maybe 20 max. In your area is probably a similar situation... you have a chance to learn and advance and have the money to buy hot cars and houses etc. You would find that way in life ends better all around than the option you are demonsrating. Best, Phil Scott "Roy L. Fuchs" wrote in message ... On Fri, 10 Feb 2006 12:50:22 -0800, "Phil Scott" Gave us: "not i" wrote in message . .. On Thu, 02 Feb 2006 22:56:25 GMT, "Toller" wrote: "Roy L. Fuchs" wrote in message m... On Thu, 02 Feb 2006 11:55:00 -0600, Bud-- Gave us: The question I asked was for a single tinned stranded wire in a pressure connection. Stranded wire in a pressure connection cannot be soldered. I am not doubting you, but can you give a reference for that? (I always crimp fitting on stranded, but was unaware of this prohibition...) This is from The Canadian Electrical Code Rule 12-112 Conductor joints and splices (1) Unless made with solderless wire connectors,joints or spices in insulated conductors shall be soldered, but they shall first be made mechanically and electrically secure. Rule 12-116 Termination of conductors (1) The portion of stranded conductors to be held by wire-binding terminals or solderless wire connectors shall have the strands confined so that there will be no stray strands to cause either short-circuits or grounds. My Interpretation : Solder could be used to confine the strands! Not only correct but the only way to go in many cases... it seems most on the NG are house wiring guys and applying NEC as they see it in homes etc...but not of course in the industrial markets. What a silly thing to say. . In corrosive environments, stranded wire will corrode into the crimmped terminal and around the wire, insulating the wire from the terminal slightly causing it to burn, then fail.. thats common. Not true. In corrosive environments (like your marine scenario) standard non-gas tight connectors are not spec'd. If they are used, they will corrode. A gas tight connector must be used, and that too, would NOT require any solder. Accordingly battery cable manufacturers most often solder their wire into the crimped terminal ends. The huge crimped terminal on a commercial battery cable is NOT a gsa tight termination. What does get used gets soldered because that is the only way they can give the termination SOME life span. This practice is seen pervasively in marine environments on both low amperage control circuits, and on power circuits. Yet not seen in ANY marine environment where the proper fittings are used. Most consumer level crap won't have such overtly expensive hardware in it, hence the "workaround", with solder. Use of solder on power circuit terminals however has many problems, namely the solder melting out of the joint if the wire warms too much... If the wire warms to the melt point temperature of solder, then there is a much larger underlying problem with the circuit or the wiring design. NO circuit wiring should EVER rise to that temperature in ANY non fault mode of operation. EVER. and extrusion of the solder under compressive stress if screw connectors are used.. It is not referred to as extrusion, it is called CREEP. the military specs some are referring to cover that aspect... but not the other aspects. The military were the inventors of the gas tight crimped connection. Use of solder in an already crimped terminal serves to increase the electrical contact area, thats good, and to preclude corrosive gases, vapors and oils from the joint (by wicking up the bare wire).... that is seen commonly be the cause of failure in those situations. If the connection is gas tight, it will be vapor and liquid tight as well. If it is not made using gas tight methods, then it is open to a host of problems. Many of which solder still does not fix or address. For the last 100 years... and currently.... most if not all controls systems and component manufacturers dip wire ends in solder that are to be fit under screw head connectors... the practice is at least 90% common.... thats with *control circuits. It varies from product producer to product producer as some of them conform tightly to proper manufacturing specs and some do not. That doesn't make those that do not "most if not all". The practice is not common with power circuits for the reasons mentioned but is still seen in some situations (primarily corrosive environments... anyone can purchase NEC approved soldered connectors of course for those purposes... those are also pervasively common, especially in the electronics industry.) None of those will be crimp style connectors. It is either a solder terminal or a crimp terminal... not both. |

Roy... you have been a combination of nasty, abusive and ignorant.... you can do better. At this point the issues of soldered connections has been fully covered in the links provided... you have made your abusive and ignorant nature fully evident. Not too many people Roy will be interested in further association with you... again there are new threads on this issue, with links and my existing posts with links on all of these issues. Your spinning and screaming is only making you look bad. better that you understand no one knows everything...and that this is merely one tiny area that you were unfamiliar with and could or still can easily learn the new information instead of defending your fly spec of error...we all err... it is defending our error that ruins us. If you spin your head around so that in your mind you are justified with all the vile language etc, you will have rationalized your own insanity and that will ruin your entire life and that of anyone connected with you. Bad mistakes Roy... you have a chance to see that and maybe just let it drop...and do things differently in the future...your entire life will improve if you do..and if you study up on industrial electrical issues your income could easily double or triple.

"Phil Scott" wrote in message ... If you *get inside* a soldered or tinned end and think of the strands, how the electricity actually *moves* then the concept begins to open up. Electricity travels on the surface of the circuitry. For wires the area of travel is the surface area of the cable, Length*Pi*diameter. Adding solder changes the surface areas and if you blob the terminal rather than tin the strands you change the surface area of the wire and hence the physical characteristics of the cable. Thats interesting... and at the least reasonably valid possibly. Id like to hear more about that. I'll throw some ideas at you, and some titles, my apologies, I don't have any net citations (I tend to learn from books especially if it's scientific technical), but I'll quote from my textbooks. More if you wish. Think of rubbing an ebonite rod with dry fur. "An ebonite rod which has been rubbed with dry fur attracts light bodies, such as small pieces of paper, and it repels another rod which has been treated in the ame way. A glass rod which has been rubbed with silk also attracts light bodies, repels another glass rod which has been similarly rubbed, and attracts an ebonite rod which has been rubbed with fur." "A negative charge placed at any point on an insulated conductor repels electrons in the material to all parts of the surface, while a positive charge at any point attracts electrons from all parts. That is, a charge placed anywhere on a conductor effectively spreads all over it, because the electrons in the material itself are free to move. Insulators do not contain free electrons, and electrons are not easily seperated from their positive nuclei; so a charge placed on an insulator does nt spread over its surface. Ebonite, glass, mica, paraffin wax, sulphur, and dry silk are among the best insulators. Dry air and dry gases generally are good insulators in ordinary circumstances; moisture in a gas or on the surface of a solid reduces the insulating properties greatly. Electric forces act *through* (itallicised in the text) insulators, which when spoken of in this connection are called *dielectrics* (itallicised in the text)." Think of the Gold Leaf Electroscope. Charging by induction. The Electrophorus. Faradsy's "ice-pail" experiment. Distribution of potential and charge over the surface of a conductor. Capacity. Condensors. Displacement currents. "Maxwell defined the displacement current as *the quantity of electricity which is caused to pass normally through one square centimetre of the dielectric on account of the electric intensity*. If there is a surface density of charge of Q ESU per sq. cm. on the plate A, a charge Q moves across each square centimetre of the dielectric from A to Z, so *the displacement D in the medium is equal to the surface density Q on the charged plate*. The electric intensity, as the cause of the displacement, is analogous to mechanical stress, and the displacement to mechanical strain. The energy stored in unit volume of a mechanically strained elastic medium is 1/2*(stressxstrain). The electrical energy stored in unit volume of the medium is similarly 1/2x(intensityxdisplacement), or 1/2ED." (confuses my concept somewhat) Wimhurst machine. Van de Graff generator. Gauss's Theorem. - Intensity due to an isolated charge conducting sphere (pg 35) - Intensity close to the surface of a conductor (36) - Force on the surface of a charged conductor (36) "The charge resides entirely on the surface, and the reason why the charge on any element is held there is that all the other charges from all over the conductor combine to produce an intensity directed outwards which holds it there. Further, as there is no intensity inside the conductor, the intensity due to the charge on the element must just cancel out that due to all the other charges at points inside the surface." goes on to say "... It remains to reconcile the two results..." Law of inverse squares. Definition of the absolute EMU of current "that current which, flowing in an arc 1cm. long of a circle of 1cm. radius, produces at the centre of the circel an intensity of 1 oersted." "The practical unit of current, called the ampere, is one-tenth of the absolute unit. " cf pg(110 and 323) Heating effect of a current. Mechanical equivalent of heat. Electric Lamps and heaters. (178) Electrolysis. Electroplating. (cf witchcraft, lol) Textbook of electricity and magnetism. G.R. Noakes MA (Oxon) F.Inst.P. (a man who could express himself without using the word '****tard' or 'retard' or any other derogation I can find). London, Macmillan. 3rd edition. 1956. Maybe the times have changed. A study of the fuse would likely be good. Oh and Roy, before you explode like a fool, you are sacked as a tutor. Maybe I'll write you a new standard. I feel sorry for the Original Poster, the ****e posted in here so far may have scard him off for life. "wow, look what I've done now" he thinks as the bar-room is trashed and the ladies run for cover. in the controls business of course the amperage very small so thats not an issue and we can solder the ends of the wire. The idea you present on current flow being possibly less at a soldered in connection would make a good google search.... If I find anything on that I will post it. I'd be interested too, I posted what I said because of studies I did while working for Philips components; working making magnets with some really illuminating chemicals, the stuff used was hydrophilic and pyrophoric, it combusted when we poured Vmto onto it! They use our little magnets inside computer Hard Dives now.

And refers to the operation of a circuit as "somebody should charge you at 20 Amps..." You are a brainless twit, at best. |

Does coating stranded copper wire with solder cause any issues or break any codes?
On Tue, 14 Feb 2006 13:04:45 -0000, "Billy H"
m Gave us: I'll throw some ideas at you, What an idiot. and some titles, my apologies, I don't have any net citations (I tend to learn from books especially if it's scientific technical), but I'll quote from my textbooks. More if you wish. Think of rubbing an ebonite rod with dry fur. "An ebonite rod which has been rubbed with dry fur attracts light bodies, such as small pieces of paper, and it repels another rod which has been treated in the ame way. A glass rod which has been rubbed with silk also attracts light bodies, repels another glass rod which has been similarly rubbed, and attracts an ebonite rod which has been rubbed with fur." Nice cut and paste. Still doesn't show that YOU actually know anything about it. It also has nothing to do with the post topic. "A negative charge placed at any point on an insulated conductor repels electrons in the material to all parts of the surface, while a positive charge at any point attracts electrons from all parts. You're an idiot. An electrostatically charged insulative surface can only have the electrons pulled off by contact. Not with a single point on the surface, but only by a wiping action where ALL points on the surface get touched and only when said contact is by a CONDUCTOR. That is, a charge placed anywhere on a conductor effectively spreads all over it, because the electrons in the material itself are free to move. No ****. But you did not say "a conductor" you said "an insulated conductor". Big difference, idiot. Insulators do not contain free electrons, and electrons are not easily seperated from their positive nuclei; so a charge placed on an insulator does nt spread over its surface. That depends on how the charge gets "placed" and where as well. Ebonite, glass, mica, paraffin wax, sulphur, and dry silk are among the best insulators. mica is the best insulator. Glass is next. "Dry silk" is an insulator but can be easily "breached" by a voltage that is not that high. Dry air and dry gases generally are good insulators in ordinary circumstances; That would depend on which gas, dumbass. moisture in a gas or on the surface of a solid reduces the insulating properties greatly. Electric forces act *through* (itallicised in the text) insulators, which when spoken of in this connection are called *dielectrics* (itallicised in the text)." However electrostatic charges behave a bit differently. Make up your mind what you are yacking off about. Think of the Gold Leaf Electroscope. It could have been a lead leaf device. Thin gold leaf just makes the effect more visible. Charging by induction. Not in the above device. The Electrophorus. The triboelectric effect. Run and look that one up now. Faradsy's "ice-pail" experiment. Who is Faradsy? Distribution of potential and charge over the surface of a conductor. If it is a conductor, it isn't merely "on the surface" unless it is in proximity to an oppositely charged device. Capacity. Condensors. Displacement currents. "Maxwell defined the displacement current as *the quantity of electricity which is caused to pass normally through one square centimetre of the dielectric on account of the electric intensity*. If there is a surface density of charge of Q ESU per sq. cm. on the plate A, a charge Q moves across each square centimetre of the dielectric from A to Z, so *the displacement D in the medium is equal to the surface density Q on the charged plate*. You're real good at the cut and paste crap, but I'd bet you have no grasp of it. The electric intensity, as the cause of the displacement, is analogous to mechanical stress, and the displacement to mechanical strain. The energy stored in unit volume of a mechanically strained elastic medium is 1/2*(stressxstrain). The electrical energy stored in unit volume of the medium is similarly 1/2x(intensityxdisplacement), or 1/2ED." With you, the charge is always zero, because you have no potential for anything but to cut n paste other folk's material. (confuses my concept somewhat) Hahahahaha... See... I told you. You be idiot. Wimhurst machine. Van de Graff generator. Gauss's Theorem. You - pile of ****. A study of the fuse would likely be good. The three nerves between the two halves of your brain have fused open, lobotomy boy. Oh and Roy, before you explode like a fool, you are sacked as a tutor. Maybe I'll write you a new standard. You're a goddamned retard. The discussion has NOTHING to do with electrostatics. I feel sorry for the Original Poster, He probably feels sorry for you. the ****e posted in here so far Then STOP! may have scard him off for life. "wow, look what I've done now" he thinks as the bar-room is trashed and the ladies run for cover. You be idiot. in the controls business of course the amperage very small so thats not an issue and we can solder the ends of the wire. The idea you present on current flow being possibly less at a soldered in connection would make a good google search.... If I find anything on that I will post it. Solder is a poorer conductor than copper. Doh! I'd be interested too, I posted what I said because of studies I did while working for Philips components; working making magnets with some really illuminating chemicals, Is that why you act like you have been lobotomized? Rare earth magnets. You, however, are not rare at all. Idiots are everywhere. You are one in ten. I am one in over 6 billion. |

Rare earth magnets. You, however, are not rare at all. Idiots are everywhere. You are one in ten. I am one in over 6 billion. Thanks for making me look so good. Maybe one day, if I ever see a reason to, I'll repay the compliment. Oh, and the lines you cut again. Textbook of electricity and magnetism. G.R. Noakes MA (Oxon) F.Inst.P. (a man who could express himself without using the word '****tard' or 'retard' or any other derogation I can find). London, Macmillan. 3rd edition. 1956. Maybe the times have changed. Oh and Roy, before you explode like a fool, you are sacked as a tutor. Maybe I'll write you a new standard. Now butt out, this is no longer your conversation. Or do you not understand any words of the English language, never mind electricity? I'll have to assume you do not if you continue. I recall a converstation with a friend who works for an international company. He told me you little lot cannot understand the job they do so they need send us English over to do the thing for you. Just to be sure it is done proper. You plainly are a stupid fool. Probably, and prima facie retarded, to use the word properly (and no my brain is not connected to the mains so I do not respond to postings so fast as you saddo - so I win the bet). Were you sexually abused as a child? Or did you get your knob stuck in the mains once or twice? Maybe that is why you know so much regards electrics. As for copying and pasting; I learn from my elders and betters, I use time honoured and established principles, and I know why (I don't go to a reg and say, erm. I'm almost brainless but I can read so I'll do what the reg says. If I use regs it is because I must, not because it is all I can do.). As for insults, re-read all the posts you mixed up histolluff. You'll see who needs the greater exercises in creative thought. Call your mother, it's time you stopped sucking daddy's penis and she changed your diper. -- Billy H "I'm an evil Scotsman and Jock is my name, If you don't like the rules don't play the ****ing game!" ------------------------------------------------------- |
