How to solder motor wires on the board

TJ's picture

I just finished an article on how to fix the glitch for MR03. That being said, I'll make this tut quite simple and straight forward. :)

Before we want to just solder the motor wire on the board but we dont know is that if the wire is not properly soldered, we are actually causing resistance to the motor. Which is something we do not want. This is how you want to solder your motor wire for less resistance.

Apply solder around the motor tabs. More than this MR03 2nd batch solder...

More like this;

To do this, heat up the circle tabs and apply solder on the tabs then bridge the solder around the tabs.

You want to insert the soldered motor wire in the middle of this tab. Heat up the solder on the tab and slowly push in the wire in upright position.

like so..

Then do the same for the negative wire.

This is very clean solder wire work and you wont have to worry about blowing your fets with those screw-in motor tab wires. Thanks for looking. Don't forget to rate it! =) 

We would also like to thank Doug Graham for sharing this tutorial with us.
