Soldering Terminals for Strain Gauges

For strain gauges with leads or wires, solder terminals should be installed between the connecting cables and the strain gauge itself. This will facilitate the execution of a perfect solder joint and provide strain relief for the strain gauge connections.

The solder terminals are installed in the same way on the test object as on the strain gauge.

HBK offers solder terminals in various designs and dimensions.

LS2 Soldering Terminal

  • Bronze soldering tag on polyimide carrier suitable for dynamic loads.
  • Attachment to test object by bonding.
  • Can be used up to 180°C (356°F), briefly up to 260°C (500°F)

LS7, LS5, LS4 Soldering Terminals for Strain Gauges

  • Copper, gold-plated, on polyimide, "self-adhesive" variant copper, nickel-plated, on polyamide
  • Attachment to test object by bonding
  • Can be used up to 180°C (356°F), briefly up to 260°C (500°F)

Also available as “self-adhesive” variants


LS7, LS5 and LS4 solder terminals are also available with the "self-adhesive" option (Option _S). The rear side of the solder terminal is equipped with an adhesive layer protected by tape. 

This option brings the following advantages:

  • No additional adhesive required
  • Quicker and cleaner installation
  • Installation on challenging areas (overhead, on radial surfaces…)
