here's the motor i'm trying to solder connections to:
http://www.allelectronics.com/make-a-store/item/DCM-372/MINI-MOTOR-VIBRATOR/1.html
i fried two already. they worked fine for a little while, then i put a duct-taped partition around each wire (bulky as hell). it worked fine for awhile still, but then overnight it was like the motor burned out. i tested each one (minus the leads coming off of their terminals) and the motors are fried now! i think i may have fried the motor while heating its terminals to get some solder on there. or is that REALLY it?
each motor is extremely small...could easily fit within the diameter of a penny. i didn't expect them to be so small. my question/problem i'm working on is how to i get some lenthy leads off of the terminals without threatening the motor's integrity? aligator clips? that's the only thing i could think of. i'm going to order some more, but really don't want them to fry again. any help is appreciated!!!
