🔧 DIY Guide: Secure Wire Connections with Heat Shrink Tubing 🎥

In the world of DIY electronics and repairs, heat shrink tubing is a trusty companion that ensures our electrical connections stay secure and protected. In this step-by-step guide, we'll walk you through the art of using heat shrink tubing effectively. So, grab your soldering iron and let's get started!

Tube shrinking comes in various sizes.

Step 1: Choosing the Right Size and Prepare the Wires

  1. The first step in mastering heat shrink tubing is choosing the right size for your application. This tubing comes in various sizes, and it's crucial to select one that comfortably fits over your wires. Remember, the tubing should be large enough to slide over the connection but not too loose.

    Cut an appropriate length of heat shrink tubing and slide it onto the wire.

  2. Strip the wire ends, exposing a clean length of wire. Securely twist the exposed wires together. This step is crucial for a strong and lasting connection. 

Step 2: Solder the Connection

  1. Apply a small amount of flux to the wire connection. Flux helps improve the solder's flow and ensures a solid bond.

    Apply flux to the wire.

  2. Solder the wires together, forming a secure electrical connection. As you solder, keep a close eye on the heat shrink tubing.

    Solder the wire together.

Step 3: Uniform Heat Application

  1. Apply even heat to the tubing using either a lighter or a heat gun. Keep the heat source moving to ensure uniform shrinking.

    Slide the heat shrink to the exposed wire.

  2. Observe as the tubing uniformly shrinks and effectively seals the connection.

    Heat the tubing evenly.

Step 4: Final Inspection

  1. Once the heat shrink tubing has cooled, inspect the connection. It should be snug, smooth, and sealed, ensuring the wires are protected and secure.

    Inspect the connection.

  2. A snug, smooth seal indicates that the heat shrink tubing has done its job effectively.

Revive Your Remote Fan: Repairing Corrosion at the Battery Terminal | Easy DIY Guide

Remote fans provide much-needed comfort and convenience but are not immune to issues that can arise over time. One common problem is corrosion at the battery terminal, which can hinder the fan's performance and even cause damage to its components. This comprehensive guide will walk you through repairing a remote fan with corrosion at the battery terminal. Whether you're a seasoned DIY enthusiast or just looking to save a beloved appliance, this guide covers you.

Thumbnail remote fan video

Step 1: Open the Remote Fan Casing

The first step is to gently pry open the casing of the remote fan using a small flathead screwdriver or a pry tool. Start at a corner and carefully work around the edges to separate the front and back casing.

The back side of the remote fan

Inspect the battery terminals and components for signs of corrosion. Corrosion often appears as a greenish or white buildup on the metal contacts.

Remove the battery cover and battery. 

Pry the casing.

Separate the casing using a flat screwdriver. 

Step 2: Access Internal Components

After opening the casing, lay the internal components on a clean surface. If screws hold the PCB, remove them using a Phillips screwdriver. Lift the PCB and other features that are secured inside the casing.

Remove PCB.

Remove keypad.

Step 3: Clean the PCB and Components

Gently disconnect any wire connections (if applicable) from the PCB. Use isopropyl alcohol and cotton swabs to clean the PCB and components, removing corrosion, dirt, or debris. Pay close attention to the battery terminal areas and wipe down plastic parts.

Clean keypad, PCB, and casing.

Step 4: Repair the Corroded Areas Using Corrosion Solution

If corrosion has affected the coil or plate in the battery compartment, apply a small amount of corrosion solution to a cotton swab. Apply the solution to corroded areas and gently scrub to remove corrosion. 

Spray the corrosion solution on the corroded areas.

Most of the corrosion is on the spring and flat plate of the battery terminal.

Use fine-grit sandpaper for stubborn residues.

Step 6: Assemble the Keypad, PCB, and Close the Casing

Align the keypad and PCB, making sure buttons match up with corresponding areas. Gently place them back into the casing. If screws held the PCB, reinsert and tighten them.

Align the keypad and PCB.

Tighten the screw using Philip's screwdriver.

Insert the battery and test before closing the casing.

Align and press the casing edges to ensure a secure fit.

Step 7: Test

Turn on the remote fan and test its functionality. Observe performance for any irregularities.

Test all functions of the remote fan.

Chapter 1: Unveiling the AS-10 Photo Sensor

The AS-10 Photo Sensor, an engineering marvel, offers a revolutionary way to control your lamp's illumination. Designed to adapt to changing light conditions, this sensor ensures that your lamp switches on at dusk and off at dawn without your intervention. But how does it work its magic? Let's explore the intricate yet surprisingly simple wiring that powers this innovation.

Review the AS-10 photo sensor.

The AS-10 Photo Sensor comes with three wires: red (load), black (line), and white (neutral).

Chapter 2: Connect Wires

Connect the red wire from the AS-10 Photo Sensor to your lamp's live wire (often brown). The black wire from the sensor connects to the power supply's live wire, while the white wire links the sensor to the power supply's neutral.

The black wire from the sensor connects to the power supply's live wire.

The white wire links the sensor to the power supply's neutral.

The neutral wire from the power supply is connected to the lamp's neutral wire, typically identified as the blue wire.

Ensure each connection is well-secured. 

Chapter 3: Witnessing the Automation

With the AS-10 Photo Sensor installed, you can experience the magic. Turn on the power supply, and watch as the sensor's automatic control takes charge. 

Cover the sensor to simulate darkness, and your lamp will illuminate.

The lamp will gracefully turn off as daylight breaks or the sensor is uncovered.
