The crimp is what holds the wire to the connector. The proper amount of solder will only enter at the seam. Their is two crimps on the connector one is for crimping to the wire. the second is the strain releif that crimps on the insulation. As far as solder goes. The proper way to solder has such a tiny amount of solder. when you heat up your iron put a little and i mean little amount of solder on the tip of the iron. heat up the connector it should take only seconds add solder at the seam of the crimp. as soon as some melts remove the solder. if done properly you will see the solder suck into the seam. remove iron now. The biggest problem with soldering small electric wiring is using to big of diameter solder. You want the smallest diameter solder. The second is applying to much solder. as soon as the solder melts remove the solder if the iron was hot it will suck right into the joint. now your almost done flick the wire with your finger to get rid of any excess on the outside of
the terminal. go to the next wire. it will take probably thirty seconds to do all three wires. abour five seconds apiece. and another five seconds to move to the next wire. <BR><BR><B><I>John Ferrell <johnferrell@earthlink.net></I></B> wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2900.2802" name=GENERATOR> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I disagree with soldering a crimp.

The crimpers will probably cost you 25 bucks. they are a w crimp. you do not want to use regular crimpers. After you crimp them you will want to solder also. use the smallest diameter solder you can find. you just need a tiny tiny amount. you won't be able to use heat shrink due to the heat shrink not fitting in the connector.<BR><BR><B><I>paul <paul.horan@sbcglobal.net></I></B> wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq

I try to avoid it only because the area near where the solder stops wicking into the wire tends to be a point of stress concentration for the wire strands, but as long as you extend the heat shrink about 1/4" past the point where the wire gets 'bendy' again, it supports it and prevents the work hardening of the wire from becoming a problem. I might be
a bit nervous about those servos though - how do the gears look? I've had incidents where just a tiny sliver of a gear tooth was chipped away and lead to further problems.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ed</FONT></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ---! -- </DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: black"><B>From:</B> <A title=paul.horan@sbcglobal.net href="mailto:paul.horan@sbcglobal.net">paul</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>To:</B> <A title=nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org href="mailto:nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">NSRCA Mailing List</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Sent:</B> Monday, March 13, 2006 10:29 PM</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Re: [NSRCA-discussion] Help: Servo pins pulled
