Unbonding of the Gage Tabs

Gage tab unbonding is often due to an excessive amount of solder, which reinforces the gage tabs, and causes them to unbond as a result of their inflexibility. Drafting tape is recommended for restricting the amount of solder (see Gage Wiring ).

Excessive soldering temperatures, or terminals placed too close to gage tabs, can also contribute to this problem.
