How do you strip the enamel off the wires in order to solder it to the board? I usually do it with a razor blade but I'm sure there's a better way.

Some types of enamel are designed to be burned off at the temperature of molten solder (e.g. Beldsol from Belden). OTOH, some are not. Have you tried it?zachtheterrible said:How do you strip the enamel off the wires in order to solder it to the board? I usually do it with a razor blade but I'm sure there's a better way.
A blob of solder on the tip of your iron will also work for small jobs.chemelec said:The Transformer Manufacturers mostly use the wire with Low Temperature Insulation and a Solder Pot to burn off the Insulation and Tin the wire.
Styx, I don't mean to offend you, but are you all thumbs? :?Styx said:BEst bet, dont use it if you can. To this day I have yet to get the hang of enameled wire, at work we have hte type that solder will burn through but I cannot even handle that stuff

I can't understand what the problem is. And what would you use for multi-layer coils (such as electromagnets)?
Thanks, monkeytree. That is a very cool idea. :!:monkeytree said:i use a paint/varnish stripper just dip the piece in for 10-20m seconds then take out and wipe with cloth nice and clean and it doesnt damage the wire
(i confess before this i used a sisscor blade)
