To easily describe one of the applications of Indium’s Solder Tubes, one need to look no further than the classical practical joker’s ‘Finger Trap’. The joke is that the unsuspecting victim(s) places a finger from each hand into the openings on either side of the trap. Once their fingers are securely entrenched within the woven cylinder, the trap will only become tighter as the deceived try to pull their captive digits out.
The Solder Tube is used in a similar fashion for terminating electrical joints when using solder sleeves (or devices); two ends of exposed electrical wiring are placed within the metal tube and soldered together using some form of reflow. The solder provides a precise, controlled amount of solder to hold the wires securely in place while the outer plastic sleeve provides enclosed protection from the elements.
