My Soldering Techniques. Deans Connectors, Splicing, Circuit boards, and Solder Removal.

I was taught how to solder in the Marine Corps Avionics field, fixing INS, Autopilots, gyros, etc and then again after attending Hughes Solder Certification School while employed by them after retiring from the USMC.
So by popular demand I present my way of soldering as it was taught to me. Please enjoy this simple lesson, as soldering is not as hard as it looks. And of course, there are many ways to cut a pizza, and this is my way.
Thanks for watching, learning, and subscribing.

super stuff Dave.... lol .... super stuff from super Dave!.I have watched 100's of your videos and learn something new every time.Your videos inspire.You got me into rc and You tubeing my flights. It will take many years to get close to your level of expertise. cheers and happy flying!



[NightFlyyer]

@frankaleeny Thanks very kindly. I appreciate that.

[BurelPhotography]

at 4:40, do you solder red as -? I just happen to notice and I know that the horizontal leg on a deans is+.

[NightFlyyer]

@BurelPhotography The blue China Connector on the other end of this adaptors wire meant I had to solder it that way. Besides, I am only showing how to solder.

Dave,

Thanks for the soldering tips, I use some of them already but I always learn something new from you.

Dave

@gikar1948 Thanks very kindly.

Thank You!

[MrDavetheman]

what is the small clamp thing on your table called ... i'm looking to buy one buy cant find any

[jrodnarod]

Thank you, your video was great, I've watched quite a few soldiering videos to improve my own technique, and this has been one of the better videos. I'm just curious, the first wire joint you made in the video was a technique I've never seen before. i personally usually stagger my joints when dealing with a wiring harness, how would you apply your technique in the field, say soldering a harness under a dash when you can't use a stand?

[Gary1497]

Great work on the video, thanks for doing it.

[Philscbx]

This is how multiple circuits in motorcycle handlebars get processed since the 70's.

The ends can be trimmed of strands first before inserting to make the joint closer to size of wire gauge before soldering.

Also multiple circuits in the bars get staggered so no two joints are next to each other.

Next, before shrink rap, squeeze solder joint with pliers to remove any sharp points that could wear through rap.

Cheers

Great mnethod for soldering 2 wires togethor. Never thought of pushign teh strands into eachother, it dosent leave a bumpo when the heatshrink is applied. ill be using that one !! Thanks dave

[dilliot2k]

Loving the dean connector footage, I know how to solder, but its good to see how its done.

[heliloco]

Thanks always Mr. Herbert you are a great teacher!!
