Introduction

For many types of strain gages (such as Micro-Measurements EA-Series ), it is not generally intended that instrument leadwires be attached directly to the solder tabs of the gage. The normal practice, instead, is to install bondable terminals adjacent to the gage, and solder the instrument leadwires to these. Small, flexible jumper wires, curved to form strain-relief loops, are then connected from the terminals to the gage solder tabs. The accompanying drawings show typical strain gage terminal installations.
