If a damaged wire is causing electrical supply issues to a device, component or applience, use this guide to replace the damaged section of the wire.

Many electronic devices use wires as a means of transferring electrical power to an appliance enableing it to work. However, wires can be worn down over time. A severed wire will cut off electrial supply to the wire itself. Exposed wires can cause injury due to electrical shock, fire or electricution.

Before using this guide, confirm that the damaged wire is the problem. Begin by determining if the device/applience is recieving any power at all. After unplugging/disconnecting the wire, throughly inspect it for any inconsistancies or suspected problem areas that could be causing issues.

Step 3 involves the task of stripping wires while steps 4-7 also require the use of heat shrink tubing. Be sure to familiarise yourself with these techniques beforehand.

Before starting, it is important to make sure that the wire you will be conducting the reapir on is unpluged/unconnected so that no electrical current will be running through it.

    • Slide the heat shrink tubing over the exposed wires.

    • Using the heat gun, slowly go back and forth over the shrink wrap, allowing for even heat distribution and the wrap to close.

    • Depending on the heat gun setting, shrink wraps should take anywhere from 10-25 seconds to fully constrict around the wire.

    • Heat guns take little time to heat up and much longer to cool down. Use caution when setting this tool down and make sure it's cool when picking it up after use.

Muito ruim!!

Ivanilson - Yanıt

Heat shrink is for strain relief - not joining cables. I'd suggest solder sleeves. You'd need a heat gun either way, but this method solders the connection and provides an environmental shield on both ends.

Josh Bowen - Yanıt

The wires really should be soldered together before putting the heat shrink over the connection. A connection made with this guide could rather easily be broken with a slight pull on the cable. In the worst case, it could cause an electric shock to the user.

Bonjour,

Vous pouvez aussi souder les deux câbles ensemble avant de mettre la gaine thermo en utilisant des connecteurs auto-soudeur que vous pouvez retrouver en cliquant ici.

Merci

何必多間中間那一段 只需要將毀損的部位修平 再將兩頭末端連接即可 多那段有點多餘

Chiu_Chieh - Yanıt

Why bother with the extra middle section? You just need to smooth out the damaged parts and connect the two ends. The extra section is a bit redundant.
