RE: Just gotta take my time and it will alll go well...







I recommend using an rca jack as a heatsink for the low-mass connector with a heat-sensitive plastic dielectric, Ivan303.

An rca jack out of the back of an old VCR can come in handy, or use an orphaned rca jack in a parts box plugged into the rca connector while soldering will work just fine.

I have a spare CMC rca jack featuring a PBT dielectric with a 433.4°F melting point that works perfectly for the task. Enough mass to quickly/efficiently transfer heat into the metal structure.
