How do I attach wire leads to the piezoceramic?
A. All of the PSI piezoceramic parts come with a thin metallic electrode already on the ceramic. Wire leads can be soldered (use ordinary 60/40 resin core solder) anywhere on the electrode to suit the application/experiment. Most PSI ceramics have nickel electrodes and require the use of an additional liquid flux for uniform results. Q.
All of the PSI piezoceramic parts come with a thin (~3000 Angstrom units) metallic electrode already on the ceramic. Wire leads can be soldered (use ordinary 60/40 resin core solder) anywhere on the electrode to suit the application/experiment. Most PSI ceramics have thin nickel electrodes and require the use of an additional liquid flux for uniform results. Our Solder/Flux Kit was designed to make this task much easier.
