Soldering leads on ultrasonic transducer.
Soldering leads on ultrasonic transducer.
(OP)
I have an old but lightly used ultrasonic cleaning tank where the solder joint between the leads (wires) and ultrasonic transducer surface has failed. I can (and have) soldered them back on, but they stay on about 5 minutes and pop off again. I strongly suspect it takes a special solder because the transducer surface (there are two leads on each of 2 transducers on bottom side of the tank) is not metal; possibly ceramic?? In any case, a soldering iron doesn't burn it, but ordinary solder won't stick. Leco and Branson seem unwilling to help (surprise!!). Anyone know what will work?

That doesn't work very well as one of the major manufactures installed a system where the connections were crimped/clamped. Within 6 weeks we lost all of the OEM transducers. If I recall correctly all failed on the wire side at the crimp in the connector.
