TV touch screen ?

Re: TV touch screen ?

Depends how long you leave the heat on obviously, you don't have to go OTT you know!

@ MadDan,

Just using a blow torch to solder is not good. The flux in the solder burns off in the high temperature of the flame and does not do it's job properly of cleaning the two pieces of metal. It also allows the oxides on the metal to form a layer which the solder does not penetrate leading to high resistance joints.

If you are lucky, you will get small patches of good soldering in your joint which for a while will provide a low resistance path, but the oxidization will eventually creep through the whole joint.

That's why you should just use a hot piece of metal rather than a naked flame.

Well I ant no professional and only have a little soldering iron but I'll squash it like problemchild said then put some solder either side on the wires !

So that pik I put is ok to leave the washer out then just use the block spacer ?? So I have cleaned all metal around the bolt hole,put ground cable/ring down then either block spacer on top with bolt or ring down washer then block spacer then bolt ?

Sorry to keep on I just want to try get it the best I can the first time round cheers

You going to professional for me john I only have a little soldering iron but I will squash it flat like problemchild said and the put some solder around the top and bottom of the crimped part that will be good enough won't it ?

So from my pik is that ok to bolt it to the car like that then without a washer or just clean on up and put ground cable ring on first then washer then big block spacer then nut ?!

Re: TV touch screen ?

Best of both worlds:-

Squash one side in, then the other side on top - THEN - use a proper big copper soldering iron of the sort you heat using a flame / blow torch. Use that to heat the crimped part whilst you feed solder in at the top.

Re: TV touch screen ?

Squash it flat - that's what I would do.

Re: TV touch screen ?

Solder it, unless you have a proper crimping tool for that terminal.

I haven't got the proper crimping tool but I'm not sure how to solder it,just leave I like it is and solder in and around it ?

Re: TV touch screen ?

Do you think this will be ok without a washer as iv scrapped back to bear metal on the block washer ??



Also what's the best way to crimp this ring connecter

Make this view like a M or squash one side then other side on top ?? If you understand me !
