- Removing the oxide layer is not necessary
- Cleaning of the solder tabs is not required
- The stranded wire can be soldered directly onto the tab

Pre-tinned option for transducer strain gauges
All HBM’s strain gauges for transducer manufacturers are available with the “pre-tinned” option. These strain gauges come with pre-tinned solder pads. This feature considerably facilitates further process steps since it eliminates the need to remove the oxide layer and clean the solder tab. As a result, soldering the stranded wire becomes more efficient and less error prone. Furthermore, the “pre-tinned” option opens the possibility of automated soldering.
Save time and material
Automated soldering is possible
Your transducers offer more consistent and enhanced quality
Save on your material and storage costs and avoid contact with chemicals
This step by step video shows you how to solder a stranded connection wire to a strain gauge with the “pre-tinned” option. The steps include:
Check out this video for a direct comparison: the left part of the screen shows how a conventional strain gauge is connected to stranded wires. The right part of the screen shows a strain gauge connection using the “pre-tinned” option.
