Solder Sleeve Solderability?

Solder sleeves provide solderability to copper, tinned, and most silver wires/shields. If you are soldering to nickel plated wire/shields you will have to get one to support that since soldering to nickel is more difficult and of higher temperatures. Since there is no filter currently in Digi-Key to filter this, it is best to sift through datasheets after all other filtering is completed.

Regular tin/copper solder sleeve example datasheet:
“These controlled soldering devices are designed to splice tin-plated or bare copper stranded wires rated for at least +85°C”

Nickel plated solder sleeve example datasheet:
“These controlled soldering devices are designed for termination of a nickel plated copper shield of a cable having an insulation rated for at least +200°C continuous.”

Hello dicorenz,

Thank you for reaching out. These look pretty basic, depending the exact wire diameter you need and whether or not you need water resistance or full immersion proof we can help narrow down a specific option for you to take a look at.

Below is a list of mentionable options:
