Hello all, brand new to soldering and I was hoping somebody could explain the proper way to solder wires to the flimsy copper "flaps" that stick out of the ends of the motors?
They are not flimsy copper, they are phosphor bronze, a tough alloy used for hard wearing
electrical parts and springs - here the spring that presses the graphite brushes against
the commutator.
As with all soldering it is vital to have an iron that is hot enough, enough flux, and be quick.
