How to Solder Wire Together Like a PRO in 5 Minutes!
Soldering wires together is a common technique used in electronics and electrical work to create secure and conductive connections. Here are step-by-step instructions on how to solder wires together:
**Materials and tools you will need:**
1. **Wires:** The wires you want to solder together.
2. **Soldering Iron:** A soldering iron is a tool that generates heat to melt solder and make connections.
3. **Solder:** Solder is a low-melting-point metal alloy used to create a conductive bond between the wires.
4. **Soldering Flux:** Flux is used to clean the surfaces of the wires and help the solder flow and adhere.
5. **Wire Strippers:** These are used to strip the insulation off the ends of the wires.
6. **Heat-resistant surface:** To protect your work surface.
7. **Safety gear:** Safety goggles and heat-resistant gloves are advisable to protect yourself from burns.
**Steps to solder wires together:**
1. **Safety First:** Put on safety goggles and heat-resistant gloves to protect yourself from potential burns and eye injuries.
2. **Prepare the wires:** Use wire strippers to remove about 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) of insulation from the ends of the wires you want to solder. Make sure the exposed wire ends are clean and free of any corrosion or dirt.
3. **Tin the wires (optional):** Tinning involves applying a small amount of solder to the exposed wire ends. This step is optional but can make the soldering process easier. To tin the wires, heat the wire briefly with the soldering iron, then touch the solder to the wire. The solder should melt and coat the wire evenly. Remove excess solder by gently wiping the wire with a soldering iron tip cleaner or a damp sponge.
4. **Prepare the soldering iron:** Plug in the soldering iron and allow it to heat up. Most soldering irons have adjustable temperature settings; use a temperature suitable for your solder and the wires you're working with.
5. **Apply flux:** Apply a small amount of soldering flux to the exposed wire ends. Flux helps improve the flow of solder and ensures a good connection. You can use a flux pen or a brush to apply flux.
6. **Position the wires:** Align the prepared wire ends together so that they overlap slightly. It's important to ensure a snug fit.
7. **Solder the wires:** Hold the soldering iron in one hand and the solder in the other. Touch the tip of the soldering iron to the wires and let them heat up for a few seconds. Then, touch the solder to the opposite side of the wires (not the soldering iron). The heat from the wires should melt the solder, which will flow and coat the wire joint. Make sure the solder flows evenly and covers the entire joint. Be careful not to overheat the wires, as excessive heat can damage them.
8. **Allow the joint to cool:** Once you've soldered the wires together, remove the soldering iron and let the joint cool naturally. Avoid moving the wires while they're cooling to ensure a solid and reliable connection.
9. **Inspect the joint:** After the joint has cooled, visually inspect it to ensure there are no cold solder joints (dull or grainy appearance). A good solder joint should be shiny and smooth.
10. **Trim any excess solder:** If there is excess solder or protrusions, you can carefully trim them with wire cutters or pliers.
That's it! You've successfully soldered wires together. Make sure your soldered connection is secure and free from any shorts or loose wires before using it in your project. Practice and patience are key to mastering soldering techniques.

😊😅 3:01
Thank you for sharing.
3528 and 5050 is the most stronger led chips. But 2835 and 5730 lumen higher. 2835 is much more regular now.
The connectors are really convenience.
This helps a lot BUT most LED strip kits simply say cut the strip (on the dotted lines) but say ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about reconnecting and do not include corner connectors, like you’re just supposed to overlap them and they’ll work. Extremely frustrated and I was hoping you might comment on that issue. I’ll look through your channel and hopefully you have an answer
Ive always taken the amateur route and used connectors but am now taking the plunge into soldering to do it properly. I just wondered if I should use Flux or just solder with Flux core solder?
Its amazing how many people (and industries) are anti-solder and pro crimp. I try to do both when possible
Great video. One addition: the bluish cool white is not 5000K but above 6000K, around 6500K. 5500K is about noon daylight, 5000k is afternoon, 4000k is sunset. 2700-3000K is incandescent light color. Too bad the Chinese dealers don't sell 5000-5500K LEDs, only up to 4000 and above 6000.
I always have a tough time when I'm stripping the wire in the middle, and it breaks the wire in half. Any strategy to help that? Has this happened to you?
Be more gentle
Get a wire stripper
Flux ?
You don't really need it if you have rosin core
☕🙂👌✨💡✨
What's that tool called? 🧐
Soldering iron, lineman pliers/side cutters, razor knife.
@Welstial precision/automatic wire stripper
clip them nasty nails man
I was setting up my LEDs and I guess I pulled them to hard and a whole part turned off 💔💔
I've always felt this way when people refer to rocket science as an intellectually taxing career: th-cam.com/video/lVPsBmhgjTk/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/xjVEnUe3dnc/w-d-xo.html Thanks for creating and sharing the video!
What's 6500k colour temperature good for?
I bought some from amazon. 5050 RGB. And 1m diffusers.. Turns out the chip per meter ratio was not that good as the diffuser just shows the LEDs and doesn't event diffuse light. So I can see the individual LEDs showing through the diffuser lol.
Its called a solder iron. Buy one and learn how to solder, my kids at 6 years old learned and so can you.
Nice job...you may however want to consider using a CU-close up (Or ECU-Extreme Close Up) when doing/showing the detailed work. Also, position the camera so that your dominant hand isn't blocking the camera.
SUBBED! great stuff!!
Thanks! going to do this to my room!
Just get to the point.
Great video. It explained led to me. Got a simple question. I am mounting Led for my ship model case and will Stick to underside of top panel made of acrylic. What do you recommend that I use to hold them in place. The double sided tape that came with leds does not hold up for very long. Thanks DickT
thank you just what we needed off to fold corners!
also the availble space is 5 mm below acrylic
hi, im trying to figure out what type of led strip lighting to light up my ship model display? i prefer not to solder but just bend around corners. my frame is built out of 3/4" sq material with slots for acrylic panels. id like to send you a pic before you answer. thanks, dickt
Ty. great video. So If you want White LEDS only for a camping application then the highest efficiency, brightest, most lumens is the 5730?
Not worth a call back
Thank you for this
Is it possible to use the led strip to draw ??? Any image or write without using the neon light
Yes, it's called persistence of vision (POV). Not all RGB LEDs are fast enough to pull it off, but the dotstar/APA102's are. Example: th-cam.com/video/1CB3UVmEcB0/w-d-xo.html
Great video! Your tips really helped me, thanks. Also, as a brit it sounds so weird to my ears that you don't pronounce the "l" in solder, and instead say "sodder".
what would you recommend for a ship model display case. Size is 16" W x 46"L x 32" Tall thanks , DickT
Thanks! Man for recommendation not 5050 for home....
Where do you connect a four wire led light strip to a wled
Could folding them cause any heat? Possible fire? I've had a rolled up role once over heat when left switched on. Thanks
This video is Underrated
If I have an oval shaped mirror and I'm trying to line the led lights to turn it into a body vanity mirror, am I able to curve the led strip to trace the oval shape of the mirror? I know I could wrap the led around the side of the oval frame, but I didn't want to do that. Hopefully this made sense

G'Day Sir I really appreciate your video and it is very helpful. Sir I need help please :-( Unfortunately I am really struggling with making the right decision on what I should buy so I can illuminate 2 custom build solid wood wardrobes and really hope you would find the time to help me figure out what I should do and how. The idea is to run a continuous a single RGB LED Light-strip in a "aluminium U-Channel with a defuser cover over the LED strip so it is a more polished and professional overall finish my reasoning for running a continuous Light Strip ( approximately 7 meters in length) is that I only want a single power plug with a single on/off switch and the remote controller to change the colour as my wife pleases. I don't understand what all the components are that I need, especially for the power supply ( not sure if that setup requires some sort of a transformer and if so what wattage should it be? All i can see watching numerous videos is that it seems these LED light strips require something to change the voltage up or down ?? and speaking of Voltage what should I get? there are 5Volt, 12 Volt, 24 Volt and the 220-240 Volt light strips available and ALL have different components etc etc .. For your information...I am thinking of placing all the power stuff on top of the Wardrobe or should I secure them underneath where the space is for the kick-board?? .... anyway, I then intend to connect to a 220- 240 Volt power outlet. I was thinking that I will get the person who is doing the woodwork to use a router to make a channel for the Aluminium channel where I wish to hide the LED STRIPS and connectors) which will be in the centre upright boards .....meaning the upright partitions or the various sides of the wardrobe. I was contemplated using L-Shape connectors as the lights would basically go up/down/up/down/and up again BUT that doesn't work because they ( the LED LIght-strip ) will not lie flat in that case...so I came across 90 degree 4 pin 10 mm connectors that are joined with 4 or 5 short wires so they can be bend in whichever position I need them to lie in the channel. i am not sure if I make myself very clear here but hope you get the idea and would love your feedback on my idea so I can buy everything online and hand it to the maker of the Wardrobe (btw, i am located in the Philippines) this person knows his craft but has no idea what i want to achieve so I explained it to them adn I just need to supply all the componnents and that is why I am writting to you and ask for your help to figure this out please. happy to email you the plans and provide you with a screen recording so I can better explain if you are struggling to make sense out of my idea. I hope to hear from you kind Regards and many thanks in advance Jim

I normally wait until the end of the video to comment but thank you so much for “soldering is not rocket science, it’s not magic”. I’ve watched so many videos about soldering led lights instead of using those very long connectors that can come in the package. I just want to underlight a 3x8 resin piece I don’t want to shove a bunch of connector wires into the base to get 4 8” led strips under the darn thing lol
I just put waterproof ones up and pulled them through the corner brackets and are all good.
