Common Leadwire Attachment

Protective Coatings

Option P2 provides electrical insulation of the gage grids, but not the solder joints. Therefore, an additional protective coating is recommended when the gage installation is exposed to moisture, chemical attack, or potential for mechanical damage. When applying coatings, pay particular attention to the junction between the solder tabs and cable leadwires. Apply an appropriate coating in this area before the cable is permanently anchored to the specimen.
