Ok silly question I know but its bugging me and I have to do it properly. Have a 3.5mm type connector (TRRRS) to repair for gaming Astro Game A40 headphones. Uses 3.5mm plug but is ring sectors use very very fine crap wire. You can get new cables but from USA and I'm in Arsetralia so costs too much. I have new connectors from Alibaba (which was an exercise in finding rocking horse poo itself) so am going to re-terminate...if I can get the coatings off. So i need to remove enamel or coating from the wires to solder and scraping them is not an option. I've tried acetone/heat... no go...so any suggestions would be helpful. |

if heat didn't work I'd say you didn't use enough |

Just apply some heat from the soldering iron with a drop of solder on the tip. It will burn the enamel off and tin the wire at the same time. This is a pretty standard procedure for the enameled wire. |

Yeah tried heat from iron..no go. Its really odd. I suspect its CCA copper coated Aluminum wire. I'm goinf to get some GP paint thinners and try that. |

Try some acid and if that not help, try to heat the acid up, if that does not remove it, you have found a material NASA would pay you a lot fore:-) |
