Soldering to Sony Flex cards
« on: July 24, 2009, 09:08:12 AM »
It is not that dificult to do. I just scraped the coating off, added a bit of flux, and then let the solder flow on the copper. Then tin the wire and heat together. It makes a very strong connection. By the way, the connection shown here is for external power. There are connections for ground and the power switch on this cable too. If only the shutter button was there.....

NW GSP - Soldering is fairly easy.  Flux is a rosin that helps the solder flow.  Make sure you put a little solder in the iron's tip.  This is know as a "heat bridge".  "Tinning" is when you put solder between the strands of the wire.  This is accomplished by putting some flux on the wire, then heating the wire.  When it gets hot, touch the solder to the wire.  It should flow and fill the gaps in the strands.  Less is more when soldering.  If you're using an iron that has an adjustable temp, don't go above 800 degrees.  Solder boil at that temp.  Good luck!  :)
