Hi All,

Anyone know of a good way to strip the coating to tin the wire?

Tried solder pot up to 1000F to no avail.
Mfr used to offer a solution that would dissolve coating but was not EPA friendly.

Any ideas?

TIA,

Thanks Edison,
We tried that too but need to do 500 pcs. Sanding off was suggested but I wanted to see if there was a solvent to make the task easier.

As long as they are EPA friendly I’m ok with it.
 
A manufacturing plant I worked at used a molten salt bath to strip enamelled wire. Wasn't my patch of plant so didn't really get familiar with it.
 
There are lots of tools specifically for that.

There is something called "SIENNA MWS" which is a laser stripper. It leaves the wire absolutely positively cleaned to the molecular level.

PDF Data Sheet of one offering

It does this to wire:

Then there's the cheapo standard found EVERYWHERE:

And if you're looking to do smaller wire:

You said the tinning, not the insulation, right? Why?

There's no mention of wire size.
Five hundred pieces of [WHAT] wire size?

The reason I ask is because working with a (AWG) number 38 wire for example
would require solutions other than what's been suggested... so far.

Strip to tin, correct.
24 AWG
We need to remove ~ 3/8” of coating off each end of a 2” long wire.

Thanks Keith! I found it anyway searching Google Images lol...
