Рет қаралды 158,853
3 жыл бұрынAn extremely useful stranded copper electrical wire repair, splice, or tap into method that few know about. This how to video will demonstrate a method that's highly effective and fairly simple to do if wire nuts, butt splice crimp connectors, or soldering isn't an option. Electrical wire cut too short, how to properly make the wire longer without increasing the diameter. Enjoy the video! Be sure to share.

Just to let viewers know, you don't have to use the exact same knot I used, or wrap the wire from the center out like I did. You can use whatever knot that works for you, and if you'd like, you can wrap tightly in only one direction. You can also use forceps or needle-nose pliers to hold a very short wire as you wrap. Contrary to what some viewers thought, the soldered connection was a very good connection, the "frosty" appearance was not due to a "cold soldered" connection, it was due to the type of solder used(lead-free). A little more solder was applied than I normally use, but in no way does it have a negative effect on the connection. Thanks for watching!

I've used quite a few methods to twist together, hook together, interweave, butt-join, side-join, etc. two low current wires and never one thought to try this! It looks like this join should grow tighter as it is pulled apart, to a point, which is nice. I'll still be soldering my splices but I'm certainly going to give this a try.

Useful tip for dealing with very thin gauge wire... Use fingernail clippers. The precision the clippers allow for cutting, wire stripping, and the like is better than any other purpose-built tool I've ever used. There are always three or four brand new finger nail clippers in my electronics repair fishing tackle box at all times.

Excellent video about a technique that is long lost -- used to be used by the old telegraph union when splicing wires up on the poles back in the day. A minor nit, though, pointed out by someone who has military 2M (micro-miniature) Repair School certification -- poor soldering technique was demonstrated by the use of excess solder (colloquially called "the bigger the glob, the better the job" by bruskers), and then blowing on the solder to boot. That frosty appearance you see on the surface of the glob of solder is an indication of a cold solder joint. A good solder joint -- which is achieved by the proper amount of heat and "sweating" just enough solder to fill in all the voids -- has a very shiny look. Do NOT blow on the solder to speed cooling!
@electronicsNmore 3 жыл бұрын
Incorrect, the frosty appearance was due to using lead-free solder, it doesn't flow nicely like 60/40.

This is great! I have used this technique on electronic components. A variant if you will is to take a strand of, say lamp cord wire or the wires inside of a CAT 5 Ethernet cable or phone wiring. I have made some cool repairs by first wrapping a fine wire around a solid wire to form a coil and slide that coil over the stub... give it a squeeze and or solder it

I worked as an auto mechanic for over 40 years, and in the past if a wire got nipped that short, I considered the electronic device to be scrap. I wish I would have seen this method a long time ago, it sure would have came in useful with a lot of automotive sensor repairs.

I use this method often. What I like to do is rather than putting the two conductors beside each other before wrapping, I feed them into each other so that all the strands are intermingled, like pushing two brushes into each other. Works well. Wrapping the end of a single conductor is also useful if it needs to be fitted into a terminal designed for a larger gauge of cable. Handy when you are all out of "red" QC connectors but you have plenty of "blue" ones, and doubling the conductor over is not quite enough.

The method I came up with back in the 1940s was it's 1840's was to split the strands of each wire apart just a little bit and push the wires together interleaving all the strands and then wrap the strands together forming and foreign and almost continuous bread between the 2 wire ends. Then solder and cover with shrink tubing.

@@electronicsNmore Sorry, it's been 3 weeks and I've already forgotten. I've done things like this myself and there was something about it that got me. Like I knew that something was tricky and you just blew right over it. Winding coils can be a bitch sometimes. Are you the one who just estimated the number or turns? That's fine with me by the way because it's so easy to lose count. One trick is to just measure the inductance as you get near the target and keep winding or remove turns as necessary. After all it's the inductance that really matters.

I prefer to use vinegar to clean the copper. Then neutralize it with alcohol.

That works, but the scraping method is faster.

@Jos Touw True, the acid can remain between the insulator and wire.

Plus, alcohol does not neutralize an acid. Ammonia would. Still not a good idea. I have always scraped the wire.

I have no idea why someone would not want to solder this. The oxidation spoken of early in the video can also occur on individual strands of the wire and over a long period of time, long after this repair has been forgotten about, an intermittent open occurs, and then there's a whole lot of head scratching. Nice technique!

Once sealed using adhesive lined heat shrink, there won't be any oxidation issues. The connection will be waterproof.
