Solder and crimp splices: Variants and application
Solder and crimp splices provide the electrical connection of cables and wires; solder splices may also be used to terminate shielding. Soldering is a conventional method for reliable electrical connection of solderable metals. This solder moistens the metals without, however, fusing them. A distinction can be made between brazing and soft soldering. In brazing, temperatures[…]

Classification of insulation materials and limiting temperatures
Insulation material classes are generally used to characterize and specify insulating materials regarding their thermal resistance. Thus the insulation material classes provide a clear, standardized classification of the respective materials according to their maximum operating temperature. Consequently, different classes with varying limit temperatures have been defined. In order to ensure long-term functionality in operation, these[…]
