Does anyone have (or know who sells) a resistance welder that is designed to spot weld electrical termainals to the wire? I'd assume this would be something hand-held like you'd use on sheet metal.I need to duplicate OEM connections that are used by Ford where they have six to ten individual wires or sometimes one large cable going to one ring terminal and are spot welded together instead of being mechanically crimped or soldered.

Reply:It has to have the specialized tip made specifically for doing electrical terminals- not a pointed spotweld tip as used in autobody repair and general spot welding.
Reply:http://www.powerstream.com/spot-welder.htm Is probably what you are looking at, but if you are only doing a few of these connections I would recommend either crimping them or soldering, why do you need to use a spot weld?
Reply:For production and also to keep the OEM electrical system's SAE rating on the new vehicles that we convert. |
