It can come in numerous styles in a syringe, tube, or other type container. What you need: a roll of electrical tape and two wires whose ends have been twisted together. First, lay the twisted part of the wires onto a strip of electrical tape.
Wrap the tape around the wires tightly times, making sure to cover up all the wire. Give your connection a tug to make sure it is strong. Solder is commonly used to attach wires and other electrical components by melting a small amount of conductive material to secure the connection. Super glue cured or not can catch fire and burn, yes. It ignites relatively easily from a flame and emits noxious fumes.
It may also ignite certain materials e. Wire Glue Conductive Glue uses microcarbon technology to make a glue that also conducts electricity. Is dried glue flammable? Cured Adhesive Flammability.

Member since January You need CA glue to glue metal wires. Tanker - Builder. Kentucky Colonel. This is the strongest CA glue I've ever used. Don Stauffer. Super glue is only super under certain circumstances. If desperate and want some sort of possible way for a quick easy fix that will not last but will get you through a day and not make a mess of things permanently, liquid electric tape mixed with graphite or some extremely fine mesh copper or silver powder could do the job.
It will not last forever. Maybe not even a day. But it buys you time. Or maybe you do it every night to charge a phone. Do what ya gotta do. Note, the more graphite or powder you add, the more conductive it will be. Also the more brittle it will be. This will give a bit of flex, and no rigidity. But it will peel right off when ready for a real repair. There are other options not readily available to most.
There are ways to make your own. Biggest issue is most require heat to sinter properly. Heat and gadgets are generally a bad combo.
There are chemical depositing methods that offer weak adhesion. All and all, soldering is actually the easiest most straight forwards, practical solution. Even without a solder iron, there are ways if careful and ingenuitive.
If it just is not working for you because you can't get the solder on the iron or to transfer you likely need to clean. Something or have a Flux or heat issue. Solder flows to heat. Cold items will not take solder. One option that can make it a touch easier to begin with is to make your own solder paste. File a piece of lead free solder till you have a small pile and mix a fraction of that in Flux paste.
Just enough to make it stick together and to items. Then you can apple it to where you need, all of which got cleaned and not touched by skin, and you could use a heat gun if careful about it.
If there is any pressure or force on any other wire or component in the heat it will disconnect tho. Too much heat kills components and melts plastic. If you like your gadget, and want to keep it, do it right or find help or bring it to a shop. If you can't afford to, can you afford to risk your item being permanently toasted? Hilanderbob, it really is not. There are no substitutes to soldering.
There is no tensile strength with superglue and any time you will use the port it will crack etc. I got a power supply port that is mostly plastic that came loose.
I feel the glue will make it less prone for this happen again, an additional anchor if you will. Just be careful that the superglue doesn't melt the plastic, or that it even sticks. It can happen with certain types of plastic and superglue. If possible check on another non important area of the port to ensure that it has no detrimental effects. I removed that and was trying a smart phone battery ie Wire is conductive the contact is. Hot-air-gunning, do you mean hot air soldering or maybe given the nature of the other things mentioned heat shrink tubing?
Every type of epoxy i've used has been an insulator although there appear to be some that are conductive and may be useful in specific situations. I do use some of them as insulators though.
For instance if I have soldered wires coming off a pcb i'll plop hot-glue or epoxy over the connection to glue the wire to the PCB and remove stress from the solder connection. Wire-wrapping is a substitute for soldering but wire-wrap supplies can get very expensive unless you buy in very large volumes or happen to find a surplus deal.
You could also crimp the wires together. There are terminals called butt splices. You could insert multiple wires into the terminal and then crimp.
These are meant for thinner stranded wires but could work for solid leads. Butt splices have two ends but there may be some sort of small ferule you could purchase. Adhesives aren't going to provide any electrical conductivity, and aren't likely to work well with metal surfaces since these don't tend to be very porous.
If you have two wires that are well twisted together, covering the joint with heat shrink tubing or tape can insulate the otherwise bare metal and prevent shorts essentially the same job as a 'wire nut' , but has no other advantage. Oxygen and humidity can generally still get into the joint, and these are what eventually will degrade the connection. If you are joining wires, or components with wire leads, then wire nuts, crimp-on splices, or screw-down connections like barrier strips will work OK, but aren't really suitable for fiddly little items.
These methods are more suited for old-school vacuum tube and relay technology. For small scale semiconductors and low-wattage passives, you really can't beat solder. It provides a conductive, oxygen-excluding bond between even flat metal surfaces. If the problem is concern about lead, there are lead-free solders that flow at somewhat higher temperatures but are not beyond hobby level tools.
When you need to attach things together electrically and you can't solder. Or your afraid to solder. Or the device will be local to a person's skin, in which case you shouldn't use solder due to heavy metals which can affect a person's health. Technical answer: Depends how reliable your connection needs to be and the conditions its going to be in and length of time it needs to work.
I used black electrical tape to connect resistor leads to wires in a custom Ghostbusters backpack.
