DIY: T Plug Easy Soldering

by Driveandairsmash | March 4, 2014 | (3) Posted in Tips

 

Easy Simple and a clean looking way to easy solder your T-Plugs on!

Step 1: Take the circular 3mm banana plug lookin things your get with your motors/ Esc's.

Step 2:Take the Banana plug and the T-Plug and squish the larger side flat onto the T-Plug

Step 3: Soldering the Banana Plug to the T-Plugs and the Banana Plug onto the Wire!!!

It is as easy as that! Look at what I get and I hate soldering deans on without these now!

 

Look how clean this is! I ahte soldering deans on becuase you get solder everywhere and sometimes they do not stay on also sometimes you get some much solder everywhere that the positive and negative just touch each other. Not with this!! I know you can buy some but technicaly this is free becuase you are reusing this for a different purpose!

Enjoy, Like and Comment!

Sure it will work, but there are several reasons why soldering is required to join electric connections. A proper solder joint will ensure electric reliable connection, this will sometimes prevent any electrical connections using plugs from disconnected due to motor's vibration. This vibration might be small, but long duration of this vibration might loosen the plugs until eventually disconnected completely. It might even loosen up the screws or bolts on your model.

Besides the vibration, improper electrical connection might cause sparks (electrons which jumps between air gaps), this will produce high amount of heat, even might cause fire to occur. Therefore it is recommended to have regular maintenance to the model after long hours of flight. Cheers.

Not to mention soldering deans, or anything, isnt hard if you have a good soldering iron. Just always plug a male and female together so if you get it to hot, the metal wont move in the plastic. Tin the wire, tin the tab, bam, easy soldering.

Agree. It has occurred to me in the past when the metal get too hot, the plastic starts to melt and lost its bind to the metal. And talking about high temp, be aware that excessive high temperature might cause damage to the nearby IC of the circuit board connected through the wires which you are going to solder with the plug connectors. Flite Test has already post a video regarding soldering technique. Have a look if you haven't watch it.
