WARNING
IMPROPER INSTALLATION
DO NOT USE these products as safety or emergency stop devices or in any
other application where failure of the product could result in personal
injury.
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in death or serious
injury.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Ensure the soldering operation is done in a controlled environment, including:
- Temperature is 24°C ±5.6°C [75°F ±10°F], with a maximum humidity of 60%.
- The soldering area has a minimum of 1076 lux [100 foot candles] of light at the work surface.
PREPARATION
- Set soldering pot to 260°C ±14°C [500°F ±25°F].
- Clean wire leads with isopropyl alcohol or cleaning solvent.
SOLDERING
1. Immerse wire lead into flux prior to tinning. Dip the fluxed end of
the lead into the molten solder. As the solder starts to wet the strands,
slowly lower the wire into the solder and let the wire remain for 6 s. Solder
must uniformly wet the strands a minimum of 0,79 mm [0.031 in] from the
insulation.
2. Ensure soldering iron tip is clean and free of oxidation. Set
soldering iron temperature to 316°C ±14°C [600°F ±25°F]. Clean tip frequently
during soldering to remove oxidation. This may be done with a wet sponge. (A
dirty tip requires more time to solder.)
3. Immerse the surface of the terminal and wire lead into the flux. The
wire should be bent at a 90° angle with a minimum radius of one wire diameter.
Ensure there are no nicked or broken strands. Insert the wire lead into the
terminal hole.
4. Crimp the wire lead over ensuring no wire strands are nicked or
broken.
5. Apply a heat sink to the terminals. (See Figure 1.)
Figure 1. Heat Sinks
6. Position the leads so there is no movement during the soldering
process.
7. Apply the soldering iron to the joint at a position near the midpoint
of the mechanical wrap and heat to flow the solder. Ensure the joint is not
heated longer than 10 s. (If this time exceeded, heat may migrate to the
hermetic glass, cracking the glass and damaging hermetic seal integrity.
8. Apply sufficient solder so that it covers the wire lead over the
extent of the wrap. The solder should not completely obscure the extent of the
wrap. Do not allow solder to flow into the terminal well. (This may crack the
glass and damage hermetic seal integrity.)
9. Remove solder, then remove soldering iron with a wiping motion.
10. Allow the joint to cool naturally, ensuring the parts do not move
during cooling. Do not use water or any other solution to cool the joint.
AFTER JOINT HAS COOLED
- Remove heat sinks.
- Remove residual flux using Isopropyl alcohol or cleaning solvent.
- Inspect to ensure that:
• There are no cold solder joints.
• There are no nicked or broken strands.
• There is no solder in the terminal well.
• All flux has been removed.
