In Reply to: Jon, my DIY RCA connections have a faulty process! posted by Edp on March 25, 1999 at 11:24:24:
Edp,Several pointers:
any time you solder, it helps to use a heatsink on the iowre/lead. This can be a specialized clamp-on device sold forthe purpose, or it can a pair of needle-nosed piers with a rubber band around the handles, and clamped on just below the application of solder. It will wick heat away from the insulation, and also from the solder joint too, so you end up applying more heat.
Pre-tin everything, and preform the braid lead into the starting shape you need, then position and apply solder to the leads.
Teflon insulation does help, as it does not melt as readily as PE, etc.
