Silver Solder Technique
for Attachment of Leads to Strain Gages

Silver Soldering Technique

Step 1

Thoroughly mix the silver-solder paste in the jar in which it is supplied. The consistency should be that of a thin mortar. If the paste is too dry, add only a few drops of water and stir. Be careful not to over-thin the paste. Keep tightly capped when not in use.

Step 2

Slip a small piece of paper under the leadwires and over the insulating layer to protect the insulation from contamination during the silver soldering process.
