Practical Soldering Guidance
PCB solder connections
- Make sure that the wire strands are freshly stripped - do NOT try to solder tarnished wire as the solder most likely won't properly adhere
- Wherever possible - twist multiple wires together
- Apply soldering flux to all wires that will be soldered (if no flux is available, rosin core solder will also improve solder flow)
- Use a fine tip soldering iron
- Apply fresh solder to the wires to create a solid solder joint
- Make sure that all wires have sufficient solder coating
- Make sure that all bare soldered connections are covered with heatshrink
- Double check the wires are in fact soldered to the exact harness wires that are illustrated within the install manual
Long term reliability is reliant on the quality of each and every splice and solder joint
